Phase-separated glasses are well known for oxide glasses and polymers. In the last years two-phase glasses were successfully prepared in different metallic alloy systems by rapid quenching from the melt. We report recent results on the influence of composition and casting conditions on the phase separation and the structure formation of glass forming metallic alloys Zr-M-Al-Gd (M =Cu,Co,). The decomposition in such alloys is a consequence of the large positive enthalpy of mixing between Zr and Gd (Hmix= +9 kJ/mole). We will show that early stages of spinodal decomposition can be obtained if the critical temperature of liquid-liquid phase separation is near to the glass transition temperature. Evidence of formation of Gd-enriched clusters by a spinodal mechanism is obtained by small-angle X-ray scattering and atom probe tomography.
