This paper reports an attempt to produce metallic glasses of Al alloys by using Chill block casting and Solid mould casting. Al alloys Al- Si, Al-Si-Cu and Al-Si-Cu-Zn were prepared so as to improve chances of formation of metallic glasses. The characterization of all samples was done by image analyzer, microhardness tester and x ray diffractometer.
