Among many bulk metallic glasses, the Zr-based ones are distinguished by their unique combination of high glass forming ability with good mechanical properties. The aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of the Zr₄₈Cu₃₆Al₈Ag₈ bulk metallic glass oxidation in low-temperature plasma to improve its micromechanical properties without the substrate crystallization. The influence of the ions accelerating voltage (600-1000 V) and the process time (30-120 min) on the surface structure and its mechanical properties were determined. After the process, the X-ray diffraction phase analysis, microscopic observations, micro- and nano-hardness as well as tribological tests were performed. It has been revealed that it is indeed possible to plasma treat a Zr-based BMG without substrate crystallization and obtain an oxide layer which improves surface properties. Moreover, the results provided in the manuscript show that it is possible to prepare a single or double layer of oxides depending on the process parameters. Optimizing the parameters is necessary to obtain the desired microstructure and properties.
