Abstract

Binary Zr-(Cu, Ni, Al) alloys were mechanically intermixed by cold-rolling stacks of elemental foils. The results indicate that solid-state amorphization is initiated if the grain size of the Zr-Cu and Zr-Ni alloys falls below a critical value. Amorphization was not observed for the Zr-Al alloy. These results are in accordance to the predictions of a model for solid-state amorphization. The comparison with the results on a quaternary Zr-Cu-Ni-Al alloy indicate the influence of multicomponent alloying on the glass-forming ability of Zr-rich alloys by mechanical working.
