Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 as well as Zr69.5Cu12Ni11Al7.5 belong to the best glass forming alloys known. Glass transition temperatures of melt‐spun ribbons are 372 and 360 °C, respectively. TEM and x‐ray analysis of samples annealed above the glass transition temperature exhibit the formation of quasicrystalline microstructures with small amounts of crystalline phases. The metastable icosahedral phase is primitive with a quasilattice constant a=0.253 nm; its composition as determined by EDX is close to Zr69.5Cu12Ni11Al7.5. In both glasses, growth of the quasicrystals has been observed to be time‐dependent (r∝t1/2), thus indicating a diffusion controlled transformation.
