CRYSTALLIZATION OF THE PARTIALLY CRYSTALLINE Cu-Zr METALLIC GLASSES
The partially crystalline Cu-Zr metallic glasses of different compositions were prepared by melt spinning. As they were obtained by lower quenching rates they are always thicker in comparison with the amorphous metallic ribbons, but as well as the amorphous ones these samples have desirable mechanical properties. The crystallization process was monitored by measurement of electrical resistance in temperature interval from 300 K to 673 K. We have noticed significant differences in their behaviour during the cooling process after crystallization, when for copper rich alloys the function R(T) turned out to have a maximum.
