Popis: Metallic glasses are a unique class of materials combining ultrahigh strength together with plastic-like processing ability. However, the currently used melt quenching route to obtain amorphous alloys has a high cost basis in terms of manufacturing and expensive constituent elements often necessary to achieve the glassy state, thus hindering widespread adoption. In contrast, multimaterial electrodeposition offers a low-cost and versatile alternative to obtain amorphous alloys. Here, we demonstrate multiscale manufacturing of a model binary amorphous system by a facile and scalable pulsed electrodeposition approach. The structural and mechanical characteristics of electrodeposited Ni-P metallic glasses are investigated by a combination of experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. The property dependence on slight change in alloy chemistry is explained by the fraction of short-range-order clusters and geometrically unfavorable motifs. Bicapped square antiprism polyhedra clusters with two-atom connections result in more homogeneous deformation for Ni
