Abstract

The phase formation and the glass-forming ability (GFA) of the Cu-Zr-Co system were studied. For the latter, predictions from a modified topological instability criterion were used to select six alloys. Five new glassy compositions were found and a good correlation was observed between the predicted GFA and characteristic thermal indicators. The addition of Co stabilizes a B2-type phase at room temperature in these alloys, which could be useful for the development of shape memory bulk metallic glass composites.
