The viscous properties of the multi component Zr41.2 Ti13.8 Cu12.5 Ni10.0 Be22.5 bulk metallic glass forming alloy was studied above the liquidus temperature. A shear thinning behavior for the molten alloy has been discovered. The shear thinning behavior can be characterized as a power law fluid with a power-law index of -0.5. Additionally, at low shear rates and temperatures near the liquidus temperature a visco-elastic type response in the flow behavior is observed.
