Abstract: | The correlation between the quenching temperature and the crystallization of the Zr65Al7.5Ni10Cu17.5 metallic glass was examined. The electrical resistivity and the thermal property were measured to monitor the structural change of the samples quenched at the temperature of 1473 K, 1573 K, 1673 K and 1773 K, respectively. The consistent results of DSC and d(ρ(T)/ρ0)/dT‐T curves indicated different crystallization behaviors of the samples. For the samples quenched from 1773 K, the increase in ΔTx, Trg and γ imply higher glass forming ability. Moreover, according to the XRD patterns of samples annealed at different temperatures, the melt temperature influences the formation of crystallized phases of amorphous Zr65Al7.5Ni10Cu17.5 alloy. |
