Abstract
Nucleation in the undercooled liquid state in the bulk metallic glass-forming composition Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 (VIT-105), produced using high purity (PA) and commercial purity (CA) raw materials was investigated using electrostatic levitation and ex situ neutron diffraction. The CA material was observed to have a lower density than the PA sample and crystallized at relatively shallow undercooling. The densities of the samples at temperatures above the solidus showed an oxygen-dependent hysteresis associated with the state change, indicating the presence of oxygen-stabilized intermetallics. The PA alloy exhibited three distinct crystallization modes dependent on the thermal history of the melt, one of which showed a net volume expansion.
