Abstract

Two-stage cooling experiments were carried out in a differential scanning calorimeter for an untreated bulk amorphous alloy Pd40Ni10Cu30P20. The results showed that the critical cooling rate for glass formation for the alloy was about 50 K/min. The continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curve was constructed based on the cooling experimental results and the critical cooling rate for glass formation subsequently calculated is in excellent agreement. The present results are compared with previous reported results and effects on the critical cooling rate for glass formation are discussed.
