摘要
A Zr58.5Nb2.8Cu15.6Ni12.8Al10.3 (at.%) alloy was found to have an improved bulk glass forming ability compared to neighboring compositions in the Zr-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al phase diagram. This alloy is the first bulk glass forming liquid, that does not contain beryllium, to be vitrified by purely radiative cooling in the containerless electrostatic levitation process. Thus, the critical cooling rate for this alloy is less than approximate to 10 Ws. This composition is a prime example of how the glass forming ability can vary with the topology of the composition manifold for small changes in the Zr-Nb and Cu-Ni-Al ratios.
