Investigation of (Cu60Co40)1−xZrx Alloys for Glass Forming Ability and Phase Separation — •Björn Schwarz1, Norbert Mattern1, and Jürgen Eckert1,2 — 1IFW Dresden, Institute for Complex Materials, P.O. Box 270116, Helmholtzstrasse 20, D-01069 Dresden, Germany — 2TU Dresden, Institute of Materials Science, D-01062 Dresden, Germany
CuZr as well as CoZr are well known metallic glass formers in a wide compositional range. Since the binary CuCo systems exhibits a metastable liquid-liquid miscibility gap, i. e. Cu and Co tend to separate from each other, the ternary Cu-Co-Zr system is a promising candidate to form phase separated glass-glass composites. In this work (Cu60Co40)1−xZrx metallic glasses down to relatively low Zr contents of x=32 could be prepared by melt spinning technique and the as quenched as well as several heat treated states were investigated by x-ray diffraction, dynamical scanning calorimetry, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, (in-situ) small angle scattering, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetization measurements in order to reveal if phase separation is present in the as quenched amorphous state or if it can be induced by thermal treatment.
