Abstract

A pseudoternary alloy system was constructed by combining icosahedral quasicrystal (IQC), decagonal quasicrystal (DQC), and Zr into one alloy system. Different proportions of Zr were added into pseudobinary alloy IQC80DQC20 (in wt.%). The structural evolution in these alloys is discussed. An amorphous alloy composition was found in this system. Melt-spinning amorphous alloy was produced in this composition. Through differential scanning calorimetry experiments, the amorphous alloy exhibited a high glass-forming ability comparable to that of the Inoue alloy Zr65Al7.5Cu17.5Ni10.
