Abstract

The onset and offset melting temperatures Tm and Tl, glass transition temperature Tg and heat of fusion ΔHm of six La based La-Al-Cu-Ni-(Co) alloys were measured by DTA or DSC at a heating rate of 20 K/s. The absolute values of specific heat capacity for the undercooled liquid and the corresponding crystalline of these six alloys were obtained by means of temperature-modulated DSC (TMDSC). Entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy differences between the undercooled liquid and crystalline of these alloys as a function of temperature have been calculated. Their glass forming ability was discussed from a thermodynamic point of view.
