“…The scales formed on the glassy alloy consisted mainly of boron oxide (B 2 responsible for the reduced oxidation rates of the glassy alloy as compared to those of crystalline counterpart. The high-temperature oxidation behaviors of the Zr and Cu based BMGs in dry air or oxygen environment have been systematically examined by Kai and his group [76][77][78][79][80][81][82], including Zr 53 Ni 23.5 Al 23.5 at 400-600 C [76], Cu 60 Hf 25 Ti 15 at 375-520 C [77], Cu 60 Zr 30 Ti 10 and Cu 60 Zr 20 Ti 10 Hf 10 at 350-500 C [78], (Cu 78 Y 22 ) 98 Al 2 amorphous composite at 400-600 C [79] and other systems [80][81][82]. For the Zr 53 Ni 23.5 Al 23.5 system at 400-600 C [76], the oxidation kinetics of the alloy follow the single-or two-stage parabolic rate law at T 500 C, but could be fitted by a three-stage parabolic law at 550-600 C. They found the amounts of Al 2 O 3 and monoclinic-ZrO 2 in the scales increase with the oxidation temperature.…”
