The glass transition temperature (T g ) and crystallization temperature (T x ) of the Zr 65 Al 10 Cu 15 Ni 10 base glassy alloys containing additional M (M=Ti, Hf, V, Nb, Cr, Mo, Fe, Co, Pd or Ag) elements were examined as a function of M elements, with the aim of finding an effective element for the increase in ΔT x ( = T x - T g ) and of confirming the appropriateness of the previous empirical rules for the appearance of large ΔT x . As the additional amount of the M elements except Hf increases, T g increases gradually, whereas T x decreases significantly and leads to the decrease in ΔT x . No effective M element leading to the increase in ΔT x is found. The ineffectiveness is attributed to the partial generation of repulsive bonding nature of Cu-M (M=V, Nb, Cr, Mo, Fe, Co, Pd or Ag) and Zr-M (M=Ti of Hf) pairs which does not satisfy the empirical rules. The area ratio of the glassy region in the arc-melted ingots with a maximum thickness of about 8 mm was found to increase from 67% for the Zr-Al-Cu-Ni alloy to about 90% for the Zr-based alloys containing 5%Ti, 2.5%Nb or 5%Pd, though ΔT x decreases significantly by the addition of these elements. The great effectiveness of the three elements on the glass-formation tendency in the arc-melted ingots is interpreted to originate from the suppression of the growth reaction of crystalline nulcei which pre-exist in the arc-melted alloy. Furthermore, the disagreement between the glass-formation tendency evaluated by ΔT x and the area ratio of the glassy region is thought to result from the difference in the dominant factors which are the crystalline nucleation and growth reactions for the ΔT x of the melt-spun glassy alloys and the growth reaction for the area ratio of the glassy region in the arc-melted ingot. The finding of the additional elements leading to the increase in the glass-formation tendency of the arc-melted alloys, regardless of the magnitude of ΔT x , seems to be a very encouraging event for future development of bulk glassy alloys.
