Abstract:The effect of alloy composition on improving glass-forming ability of La-based alloys is investigated in this work. Previous composition criteria demonstrated that the alloys with high glass-forming ability should have negative heats of mixing among the main constituent elements. In this study, the addition of Fe to a La-based La-Al-Ni-Cu alloy significantly improved the glass-forming ability, although the heat of mixing between Fe and the main element La is positive. La-Al-Ni-Cu-Fe bulk metallic glasses with … Show more
