A new continuous casting method for production of bulk metallic glass (BMG) was proposed. An intermittent withdrawal procedure, in which a withdrawal cycle was employed, was adopted for the continuous casting of BMG. A Zr-based bulk glassy alloy rod with a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 60 cm was prepared using this method. The glassy nature of the rod was identified by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The continuous cooling transformation curve of the glassy alloy was adopted for the discussion of cooling history of the continuous cast. The newly developed continuous casting method can be used for the massive production of bulk glassy alloys, and it can effectively reduce production costs and accelerate the development and application of metallic glasses
