Abstract

The glass-forming ability of Ti–Zr–Hf–Cu–M (M=Fe, Co, Ni) alloys was examined by melt-spinning and copper mold casting methods. New Ti20Zr20Hf20Cu20Ni20 bulk glassy rod of 1.5 mm in diameter was formed by copper mold casting. The Tx and Tg of the glassy rod were 711 K and 658 K and TgTm was 0.57. The bulk glassy alloy can be characterized by equal concentration of constituent elements without distinct host component. It is confirmed that more multicomponent glassy systems have a better glass-forming ability as compared with simpler alloy systems. The glassy alloy rod also exhibits good mechanical properties which are similar to those for ordinary glassy alloys. The finding of this alloy system may provide a new synthesis method of bulk glassy alloys.
