Abstract

The viscosity of liquid lanthanum-based and aluminum-based La-Al-Ni alloys has been measured by an oscillating crucible method of the inverse suspending type in the temperature range from melting temperature (Tm) up to about 1400 K. In the case of La55Al45-xNix (x = 10∼40 at. %) alloys, the viscosity increased with increasing Ni content up to about 20 at. % Ni and then decreased with increasing the Ni content, while the activation energy for viscous flow decreased to a minimum value at about 20 at. % Ni. This composition is well consistent with that of the La-Al-Ni alloy having largest glass-forming ability.
