Relationship Between the Liquidus Surface and Structures of Zr Cu Al Bulk Amorphous Alloys

Figure 9 shows the compressive stress-elongation curves of some Cu–Zr–Ti–Ni–Nb bulk glassy alloy rods.. In addition, one can see distinct plastic elongation of 0.2 to 0.8%.

4 The effectiveness of Al addition on the increase in the glass-forming ability, thermal stability and mechanical strength of the Cu–Zr alloys is interpreted in the framework of
