We have studied the structural transformations and deformation behavior of an amorphous AlNiLa alloy during nanoindentation and uniaxial tension tests and assessed the influence of crystalline phases resulting from lamp processing and heat treatment. Our results confirm the high effectiveness of lamp processing: at identical phase compositions, the lamp processing time is shorter by more than two orders of magnitude. The microplasticity of the amorphous alloy has been shown to manifest itself in both nanoindentation and uniaxial tension tests. The high proportion of local plasticity in the work of indentation has been accounted for in terms of possible intercluster sliding. The observed lamp processing- and heat treatmentinduced changes in the hardness of the alloy reflect changes in its phase composition and the percentages of the amorphous and crystalline phases, which does not rule out a cluster mechanism of local deformation or its deceleration by nanocrystalline phases in the amorphous-nanocrystalline structure.
