ABSTRACTThe thermodynamics of the bulk metallic glass forming Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 alloy were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The specific heat capacity of the undercooled liquid with respect to the crystalline mixture was measured in the DSC simultaneously with the enthalpy of crystallization over the entire supercooled liquid region. The enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy change between the liquid and the crystalline mixture was determined from the specific heat capacity data. The calculated enthalpy function closely matched the enthalpies of crystallization that were measured in the DSC, which verifies the validity of the thermodynamic model used. A small Gibbs free energy difference between undercooled liquid and crystalline mixture was found for decreasing temperature in Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 when compared to other glass forming alloys. This reflects a small driving force for crystallization when undercooling this alloy and is the main contributing factor for its high glass forming ability.

ABSTRACTThe viscosities of the Zr46.75Ti8.25Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 and the Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass forming liquids was determined from the melting point down to the glass transition in the entire temperature range of the supercooled liquid. The temperature dependence of the viscosity in the supercooled liquid obeys the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) relation. The fragility index D is about 20 for both alloys and the ratio between glass transition temperature and VFT temperature is found to be 1.5. A comparison with other glass forming systems shows that these bulk metallic glass formers are strong liquids comparable to sodium silicate glass. Furthermore, they are the strongest among metallic glass forming liquids. This behavior is a main contributing factor to the glass forming ability since it implicates a higher viscosity from the melting point down to the glass transition compared to other metallic liquids. Thus, the kinetics in the supercooled liquid is sluggish and yields a low critical cooling rate for glass formation. The relaxation behavior in the glass transition region of the alloys is consistent with their strong glassy nature as reflected by a stretching exponent that is close to 0.8. The microscopic origin of the strong liquid behavior of bulk metallic glass formers is discussed.
