Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 metallic glass machining chips were characterized using SEM, X-ray diffraction and nano-indentation. Above a threshold cutting speed, oxidation of the Zr produces high flash temperatures and causes crystallization. The chip morphology was unique and showed the presence of shear bands, void formation and viscous flow. (C) 2003 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
