Abstract

A quinary Ti20Zr20Hf20Be20Cu20 high entropy bulk metallic glass (HE-BMG), with a critical diameter (Dc) of 12 mm—the largest size in the reported quinary high entropy alloys (HEAs), has been successfully prepared by copper mold casing. This novel HE-BMG possesses a supercooled liquid region ΔT (=Tx − Tg) of 78 K, indicating a better thermal stability than those of other HE-BMGs. In addition, the HE-BMG exhibits a relatively good compressive plasticity (2.2 ± 0.1%) among the HE-BMGs. The newly developed HE-BMG may offer insights for the indepth understanding of the fundamental issues associated with the glass formation and the unique structure-property relationship when combining the features of HEAs and BMGs together.
