摘要
The formation and thermal stabilities of Cu46.25Zr46.25xAl7.5Erx (x=0 to 8) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were investigated. The addition of a small amount of Er (2at%) for replacing Zr effectively improves the glass-forming ability of Cu46.25Zr46.25Al7.5 alloy, and the glassy rod with a diameter of at least 12 mm can be formed. The glass transition temperature (Tg), temperature interval of su- percooled liquid region △Tx (=Tx-Tg), and reduced glass transition temperature Trg (=Tg/Tl) of Cu46.25Zr44.25Al7.5Er2 glassy alloy are 699 K, 62 K and 0.607, respectively.
