The　wear,　elastic,　mechanical　and　thermodynamic　properties　of　bulk　metallic　glasses　(BMGs)　is　studied　to　explore　correlations　between　the　wear　resistance　and　properties　of　BMGs.　It　is　found　that　the　wear　resistance　of　BMGs　is　dominated　by　synergistic　effects　of　strength　factors,　namely　the　hardness　(H),　Young＇s　modulus　(E),　yield　strength　(σy)　and　glass　transition　temperature　(Tg),　as　well　as　toughness　factors,　like　the　notch　toughness　(KQ)　and　Poisson＇s　ratio　(ν).　Moreover,　a　novel　strategy　for　optimizing　the　wear　resistance　of　BMGs　is　proposed　from　elastic　perspective.　The　wear　resistance　of　BMGs　is　correlated　with　chemistry-induced　changes　to　bulk　modulus　(B)　and　Poisson＇s　ratio　(ν)　for　the　first　time.　Developing　BMGs　with　high　value　of　B0.5·[2(1+v)/3(1−2v)]0.25　can　achieve　simultaneously　both　high　strength　and　good　toughness,　which　provides　the　elastic　opportunities　for　designing　ultra-wear-resistant　BMGs.　©　2017
