Abstract

The effects of small amounts of Si on the glass-forming ability, thermal stability and mechanical property of a TiZrCuPdSn bulk metallic glass were investigated. The addition of Si caused the decrease of glass-forming ability and the increase of the supercooled liquid (SCL) region. With 2 at.% Si addition, a significant SCL region of 80 K was obtained, which indicated high thermal stability of the glassy alloy and was in favor of secondary working by viscous flow deformation. With increasing Si content, the plasticity decreased.
