Abstract

The effect of iron addition on the microstructure of the Cu-Zr-Al-Y glass-forming alloy was studied. Despite a high superficial cooling rate, small Fe additions (1.5 and 3 pct) induced formation of crystalline CuZr and AlCu2Zr phases on the outer layers of suction-cast rods. As the melt composition near the solid/liquid interface was depleted in Fe, the remaining melt vitrified at a relatively low cooling rate.
