Nowadays Ni-based bulk metallic glasses (BMG) are considered as potential engineering materials due to their good mechanical properties (high strength, relatively low Young’s modulus and large elastic limit). Several Ni-based alloys have been reported to show the enhanced glass forming ability (GFA), enabling the preparation of BMG by Cu-mould injection casting. Another possibility of fabrication of amorphous powders is mechanical alloying (MA) method.

The main purpose of this work was to produce amorphous Ni₅₉Zr₂₀Ti₁₆M₅ (M = Cu, Ag) alloys by mechanical alloying of a mixture of the powders of pure crystalline elements. The studied alloys exhibit high GFA, however, the compositional ranges of amorphisation for MA and rapid quenching are usually different. Then, the thermal stability of all investigated amorphous alloys were studied and compared.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed as the experimental techniques for samples characterization, both melt spun ribbons and MA powders at different stages of processing.
