摘要
Bulk amorphous formation in Ti-Cu-based multicomponent alloys, free of Ni, Pd and Be elements, were studied using the cluster-plus-glue-atom model. The basic cluster formula was revealed as [Ti9Cu6]Cu3 to explain the best binary glass forming composition Ti50Cu50=Ti9Cu9, where the CN14 rhombi-dodecahedron Ti9Cu6 was the principal cluster in the devitrification phase CuTi. This basic cluster formula was further alloyed with Zr and Sn and a critical glass forming ability was reached at （Ti7.2Zr1.8）（Cus.72Sn0.28） and （Ti7.2Zr1.8）（Cu8.45Sn0.55） up to 5 mm in diameter by suction casting, which was the largest in Ti-Cu- based and Ni-, Pd- and Be-free alloys.
