Abstract

A series of Gd–Ni–Al ternary glassy alloys with the maximum diameter of 4 mm were obtained by common copper mold casting. The maximum values of the reduce glass transformation temperature (T g/T m) and the distance of supercooling region ΔT x of these alloys in this study were 0.648 and 50 K, respectively. The compressive fracture strength (σ f) and Young’s modulus (E) of Gd–Ni–Al glassy alloys were 1,240–1,330 MPa and 63–67 GPa, respectively. The magnetic properties of these BMGs were investigated. The Gd–Ni–Al bulk glassy alloys with great glass forming ability and good mechanical properties are promising for the future development as a new type of function materials.
