It has been found that the Mloy with 15 at. pct Ni has the strongest glass forming ability, and can be fabricated to a rod with 5 mm in diameter using suck-casting. The addition of Ni has an obvious effect on the thermal behavior of the metallic glasses, especially on the position of the second and third crystallization peaks. The crystallization ki- netics and activation energies of the four metallic glasses have been elaborated using the Kissinger equation. The continuous heating transformation curves of the T~ and Tpl have been constructed by applying the extension of the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann （VFT） nonlinear equations, which are derived from the experimental data in the heat- ing rate range of 5-80 K/min. The effect of Ni on the formation and thermal stability of the Nd-based metallic glasses has been discussed.展开更多
