Effect of Sn addition on the glass-forming ability in (Cu{sub 40}Ti{sub 30}Ni{sub 15}Zr{sub 10}){sub (100{minus}x)/95}Sn{sub x} (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) alloys
With the aim of increasing the glass-forming ability, it has been reported that the multiplication of alloy components is very effective. This consideration was applied to the preparation of bulk amorphous alloy in the composition vicinity of (Cu{sub 40}Ti{sub 30}Ni{sub 15}Zr{sub 10}){sub 100/95}. Addition of Sn to this alloy composition was carried out in the formulae of (Cu{sub 40}Ti{sub 30}Ni{sub 15}Zr{sub 10}){sub (100{minus}x)/95}Sn{sub x} (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8). Using the above compositions, preparation of cylindrical amorphous alloy of 2 mm in diameter was attempted by Cu mold casting. The preparation with {approximately}4 at% Sn alloy was successful, which those with 0 and 8 at% Sn alloys were unsuccessful. The present paper is intended to examine the change in crystallization behavior with Sn concentration in the (Cu{sub 40}Ti{sub 30}Ni{sub 15}Zr{sub 10}){sub (100{minus}x)/95}Sn{sub x} (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) alloy series. Based on the experimental results, it is concluded that the interaction between Sn and the initial crystalline phases has a significant effect on the glass-forming ability.
