Abstract
The amorphous nature and the forming characteristics of the cast metallic glass (MG) rod need to be closely monitored to assess the suitability of the cast material for the artificial microstructures. For this reason, three different test methods, namely, formability test, structural and thermal analysis, and bending test were conducted prior to fabrication and testing of MG heterostructures, and the results are presented in this chapter.

Conclusions
Formability test, thermal and structural analysis, and bend test are used to evaluate as-cast and TPF-based compression molded Zr35Ti30Cu7.5Be27.5 MG discs. The samples are showing similar mechanical, physical, and structural properties, where the results are repeatable with high accuracy. Same properties were also tested for Zr35Ti30Cu7.5Be27.5 MG heterostructures, where the results are exactly the same with thermoplastically deformed monolithic MGs. Therefore, it can be concluded that the properties of the fabricated structures are independent of the thermoplastic forming process and the replication of the MG heterostructures.
