Abstract
Ti45.8Zr6.2Cu45-xNi xSn2Si1 (x = 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 at.%) and Ti52-yZryCu40.9Ni 5.1Sn2 (y = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 at.%) bulk metallic glasses with critical diameters up to 4 mm were prepared by copper mold casting. The thermal properties and crystallization behavior of these Ti-based glassy alloys have been investigated in detail. It is shown that the higher the onset temperature of the last crystallization event (Tn), the larger the glass forming ability (GFA). By considering the comprehensive effect of glass transition temperature (Tg), the onset temperature of the first crystallization event (Tx), Tn and liquidus temperature (Tl), we proposed a parameter N = (2Tx - Tg + Tn)/2Tl for the evaluation of GFA. It is found that this criterion is particularly effective for the BMGs which show multistage crystallization events upon heating.
