Using the scanning (differential) method and a PE DSC in continuous heating regime as well as the integral (enthalpic) method and a SETARAM DSC in a discontinuous heating regime the specific heats of several metallic glassy ribbons were measured. The linear CpM(T) dependencies in the as-quenched, relaxed and also the stable crystalline forms of the ribbons in the medium temperature region were found. The room temperature specific heats of these ribbons, the excess contributions due to the relaxed glassy state as well as the non-relaxed glassy state were determined.The sensitivity of CpM(T) measurements of metallic ribbons was better than 0.2%, the long term reproducibility in the case of glassy ribbons was 2%. They are related to the errors in CpM(T) measurements of synthetic sapphire standard or bulk chaleogenide glasses.
