Abstract

No bulk metallic glass (BMG) has been observed so far in the Ti-Cu binary system. It has been found that by choosing a pseudo-binary eutectic (LTiCu +TiNi) deeper than that in the binary, reachable via only small substitution of Cu with Ni, the glass-forming ability can be effectively elevated. BMGs of 1-1.5 mm diameter have been formed over a composition range around Ti50Cu43Ni7. The new BMGs are reproducibly malleable with significant compressive plastic strains.
