Abstract

In this work, we study the cooling behavior of several typical bulk glassy alloys on casing and present the relationship between the thermal conductivity of a glassy alloy and the cooling rate upon mold casting. The cooling rates obtained for Ti-, Zr-, Pd-, and Cu-based bulk glass forming alloys are found to scale with the thermal conductivities of the studied glassy alloys.
