Abstract
Quaternary Ni-based amorphous alloys containing only metallic elements were developed through systematic alloy design. The importance of the phase equilibria information for the development of amorphous alloys was demonstrated through experimental results. Ni−Zr−Al ternary alloys having low liquidus temperature tend to have high GFA. Partial replacements of Zr with Y in the ternary alloys significantly enhanced the GFA of the quaternary alloys. The alloy Ni60Zr25Al8Y7 could be cast into a fully amorphous rod through an injection casting method. Since most Ni-based amorphous alloys reported to date contain non-metallic elements, the Ni-based amorphous alloys developed in the alloy system Ni−Zr−Al−Y are of interest.
