Crystallization characteristics of late transition metal-Zr glasses around the composition M90Zr10

Abstract
We report on the glass-forming ability and crystallization products of Cu-, Ni-, Co-, and Fe-Zr around the composition M90Zr10. Cu-Zr cannot be made glassy by metal spinning in this composition range and Ni-Zr only with difficulty at Ni90Zr10. Two new metastable phases are observed: Co5Zr and a bcc form of Ni.
