Abstract

The metallic glass-forming alloy VIT-105 (Zr_52.5Cu_17.9Ni_14.6Al₁₀Ti₅) was used to study the effect of oxygen on nucleation. Ex situ synchrotron X-ray scattering experiments performed on as-cast samples showed that oxygen leads to the formation of tetragonal and/or cubic phases, depending on oxygen content. The samples crystallized into either a primitive tetragonal phase or the so-called fcc "big cube" phase in a glassy matrix. A subsequent discussion on the role of oxygen in heterogeneous nucleation in Zr-based bulk metallic glasses is presented. © 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.
