Popis: We reported the effect of Zn addition on the glass formation ability (GFA), thermal stability, melting behavior and oxidation behavior of Ce-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). The Ce-Cu-Al alloys with Zn addition also have high glass formation ability (GFA) and large supercooled liquid regions (ΔT x , ΔT x = T x - T g , T x is the onset crystallization temperature and Tg is the glass transition temperature). The T g , T x and ΔT x are, respectively, 368, 437 and 69 K for the (Ceo 0.72 Cu 0.28 ) 87.5 Al 10 Zn 2.5 alloy, and 394, 467 and 73 K for the (Ce 0.72 Cu 0.28 ) 82.5 -Al 10 Zn 7.5 alloy. The ΔT x of the (Ce 0.72 Cu 0.28 ) 100-x Al 10 Zn x alloys was above 70K and the BMGs with diameters up to ∼6 mm could be produced successfully. The critical diameters and ΔT x of the alloys increase with increasing Zn content, and have maximum values of 6 mm and 73 K, respectively, at 7.5 at% Zn, and then decreases in the higher Zn content range. The melting behavior shows that the addition of Zn element causes the significant increase of both T m and T l . The investigation of oxidation behavior shows that the addition of Zn element is effective for the enhancement of the oxidation resistance.
