Abstract

We report the equilibrium phase assemblage of two bulk-metallic-glass-forming alloys, Hf44.5Ti5Cu27Ni13.5Al10 and Hf44.5Nb5Cu27Ni13.5Al10. Using thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray microanalysis, we examined the phase equilibria of the major components - Hf, Cu, and Ni. We then examined the effect of additions or substitutions of Nb, Ti, and Al on equilibrium phase assemblage and melting behavior.
