Abstract

The kinetic property during the glass transition process of Zr_Al_Ni_Cu (Nb,Ti) amorphous alloys was systematically investigated by differential scanning calorimetry method. The activation energy (ΔE) at the glass transition temperature was much smaller than tradition amorphous alloys and have different magnitude compared to ΔEvalue at Tx. These reveal that the bulk amorphous alloys show special structure characteristics and that is the reason of its big glass_forming ability. The Vogel_Fulcher_Tammann fits to the experimenta l data are given by the full curves and the fragility parameter mvalue was calculated to be about 30, reflecting its “strong" liquid property in deep_unde rcooled region. The B value of Lasocka function,atom activation energy and glass fragility parameter reveal a close relationship between kinetic behavior at glass transition and the glass_forming ability. So it could be used as an impor tant judgment for glass_forming ability.
