Abstract
Glass formation by ball milling of a mixture of intermetallic phases w ith composition Zr60Al10Ni9Cu18Co3 was investigated by X-ray diffracti on and thermal analysis and compared with glassy phases produced by li quid undercooling and ball milling of an elemental powder mixture of s ame composition. The so obtained amorphous phase reveals a distinct gl ass transition and a large stability range of the highly undercooled m elt of 95 K. It is believed that this is by far the widest temperature range of a highly undercooled melt found for ball milled amorphous ma terials. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
