Applying a new criterion to predict glass forming alloys in the Zr–Ni–Cu ternary system

Amorphization of CuZr Based Alloy Powders by Mechanical Milling

“…Aluminum and nickel have been regarded as useful elements to improve the plasticity, thermals stability and glass forming ability of the CuZr-based BMGs [4,5,6].…”

“…The production of BMG composites via powder consolidation has the advantage that the reinforcing particles can be distributed more easily. 5 were prepared by arc melting the mixtures of Cu, Zr, Al pure metals (min. 99.99%) under purified argon atmosphere.…”

“…Up to date, ternary Cu-Zr-Al and quaternary Cu-Zr-Al-Ni systems have been widely investigated by researchers because of their high glass forming ability and distinguished properties [1][2][3]. Aluminum and nickel have been regarded as useful elements to improve the plasticity, thermals stability and glass forming ability of the CuZr-based BMGs [4,5,6].…”
