Cu46Zr47-x Al7M x (M = Ce, Pr, Tb, and Gd) bulk metallic glassy (BMG) alloys were prepared by copper-mold vacuum suction casting. The effects of rare-earth elements on the glass-forming ability (GFA), thermal stability, and mechanical properties of Cu 46Zr47-x Al7M x were investigated. The GFA of Cu46Zr47-x Al7M x (M = Ce, Pr) alloys is dependent on the content of Ce and Pr, and the optimal content is 4 at.%. Cu46Zr47-x Al7Tb x (x = 2, 4, and 5) amorphous alloys with a diameter of 5 mm can be pr...
