Abstract
The isothermal crystallization behavior of the Cu42Zr42Al8Ag8 bulk metallic glasse (BMG) was studied by the electrical resistance method. The increasing local activation energy means that the crystallization of the Cu42Zr42Al8Ag8 BMG becomes more and more difficult during the isothermal process. In the stage that the crystallized volume fraction falls into the range of 25–85%, the crystallization of the Cu42Zr42Al8Ag8 BMG is diffusion-controlled growth with a decreasing nucleation rate.
