Abstract

The relative glass forming ability (GFA) of bulk amorphous Zr 60Cu20Ni8Al7Hf3Ti 2 (A1) and Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni 14.6Al10Ti5 (Vit105) alloys has been investigated by comparing the maximum thickness of amorphous region of wedge-shaped samples, as well as the evaluated critical cooling rates using differential thermal analysis (DTA). The results show that the maximum thickness of amorphous region of wedge-shaped samples are dm = 2mm for A 1, dm = 3.5mm for Vit105, and the evaluated critical cooling rates are Rc = 33.5 and 4.5K/s for A1 and Vit105, respectively. It is suggested that the glass forming ability of A1 is smaller than that of well known Vit105 alloy, though A1 has the significant supercooled liquid region of over 140K. Therefore, it is concluded that a large supercooled liquid region ΔTx does not necessarily mean good glass forming ability of an amorphous alloy.
