xCexMn14.3Si9.4Cr10C0.9 and Ti40&minus
xCexNi40Cu20 (x = 0, 1.0), through the martensite transformation induced plasticity (TRIP effect) to enhance both the ductility and work-hardening capability, were fabricated using magnetic levitation melting and copper mold suction via high frequency induction heating. Furthermore, the Ce microalloying effects on microstructure and mechanical behaviors were studied. The Fe-based BMGCs consisted of face-centered cubic (fcc) &gamma

Fe phase, as well as Ti-based BMGCs containing supercooled B2-Ti (Ni, Cu) and a thermally induced martensite phase B19&rsquo
Ti (Ni, Cu). As loading, the TRIP BMGCs exhibited work-hardening behavior, a high fracture strength, and large plasticity, which was attributed to the stress-induced transformation of &epsilon

Ti (Ni, Cu) martensite. Ce addition further improved the strengthening and toughening effects of TRIP BMGCs. Adding elemental Ce enhanced the mixing entropy &Delta

Hmix, thus improving the glass forming ability and delaying the phase transition process, and hence prolonging the work-hardening period before fracturing. The fracture strength &sigma
