文摘The crystallization behavior of Zr 55 Al 10 Ni 5Cu 30 (mole fraction, %) bulk amorphous alloy during continuous heating and isothermal annealing was investigated.

In addition, there is a second order exponential decay relation between the annealing temperature and the corresponding crystallization time during isothermal annealing.
