Inhomogeneous flow in metallic glasses is revealed in the form of shear bands. A study of the effect of annealing on the chemical etchability of shear bands in Metglas 2826 (Fe{sub 40}Ni{sub 40}P{sub 14}B{sub 6}) and BNi{sub 2}(Ni{sub 69.2}B{sub 13.7}Si{sub 7.9}Cr{sub 6.6}Fe{sub 2.6}) brazing alloy was performed. It is found that the etchability of shear bands could be eliminated after a certain time period characteristic of the isothermal annealing temperature. This property was used to determine the apparent activation energy of the loss of chemical etchability of the bands. In the BNi{sub 2} alloy, the etching properties following annealing are compared to the effect of annealing on the reverse shear behavior of the shear bands.
