Abstract
In this work, we studied the thermal stability and kinetics of Nd 55 Al 20 Fe 25 bulk metallic glass (BMG) with distinct glass transition and multistage crystallizations. The kinetics of glass transition and crystallizations were investigated using the Kissinger method and the ideal glass transition temperature of the alloy was obtained via Lasoka's equation. The thermal stability of the BMG was investigated by means of continuous transformation diagrams obtained from the extension of Kissinger analysis. It is suggested that the stability limit of the supercooled liquid, i.e. Kauzmann temperature, could also be regarded as the long-term stability criteria of the BMG.
