A surface softening effect induced during copper-mould suction casting of bulk metallic glass is investigated as a function of rod diameter and glass fragility index. m, by nanoindentation. A reduction in hardness and reduced modulus at the rod surface is found to be favoured in small diameter castings and in fragile systems, respectively resulting from limited in-situ annealing and from a greater diversity of metastable atomic environments in the potential energy landscape of fragile glasses. Enhanced propensity for shear transformation zone nucleation in the low moduli surface is explained in terms of reduced atomic connectivity arising from a reduction in local co-ordination number and a lowering of the shear modulus. Finally, the structure and mechanical diversity that is possible in as-cast bulk metallic glass rods is explored through a relative quantification of shear modulus and plastic zone size across the whole as-cast state and in a single rod. These findings illustrate the sensitivity of bulk metallic glass to preparation, especially in respect of thermal history, potentially making replication of mechanical data between researchers problematic.
