Thermal stability and structure of Dy-Gd-Co-Al alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The results show that the Dy-Gd-Co-Al alloys have good glass-formation ability, and the Dy31Gd25Co20Al24 alloy can be readily cast into full glassy rods up to 5 mm in diameter. The glass-forming ability of multicomponent alloys was greatly dependent on their chemical interaction and the equivalent bond parameters among atoms such as equivalent electronegativity difference, equivalent atomic size parameter. The Dy (Gd)-based bulk amorphous alloys could be expected as potential functional materials.展开更多
