Crystallization behavior of binary metallic glasses containing Pt

Binary MPt glasses were made by rapid quenching from liquid, where M is Ti, Zr, and Hf. Glass forming compositions were found near eutectics in TiPt, ZrPt and HfPt. Isothermal crystallization for Zr₇₅Pt₂₅ was studied at a temperature range from 780 to 792 K. The non-isothermal transformation was measured by differential scanning calorimetry with heating rates from 5 to 160 K/min. Activation energy for crystallization was obtained from the non-isothermal heating, which is consistent with that from the isothermal annealing.
