“…The microstructure of the specimens was studied by optic microscopy with an Olympus BX 51 (Olympus Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and scanning electron microscopy with a Phenom ProX (Phenom-World BV, Eindhoven, The Netherlands). Chemical composition of the alloy Zr 59 Cu 14.3 Ni 11.9 Al 9.3 Nb 5.5 was confirmed by energy-dispersive analysis (EDX) in [26]. In addition, the content of oxygen was measured by the method of the reductive melting of the material in a helium flow using a Leco TC-600 analyzer (LECO Corporation, St. Joseph, MI, USA).…”
