摘要
Using the Cu-Zr model system, we demonstrate that bulk amorphous alloys can be obtained by copper mold casting even in a binary metallic system. The narrow, off-eutectic, bulk-glass-forming range was found to require composition pinpointing to <1 at. %. A phase selection diagram is used to explain the success of our microstructure-based approach to pinpoint the best glass former in a given system. The implications of discovering simple binary bulk amorphous alloys are discussed, in terms of its impact on understanding the formation and physics of bulk metallic glasses.
