Abstract
We examined the formation, thermal stability, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of a multicomponent Zr55Al10Fe6Co6Ni6Cu6Pd6Ag5 bulk glassy alloy, with the aim of clarifying the effect of high-order multiplication of the number of components on their properties. The bulk glassy alloy rods of 2 and 6 mm in diameter were formed by suction casting even at the low total content of typical glass-forming 3-d late transition metals like Co, Ni and Cu. The Vickers hardness is different in the center region and in the outer surface region. The difference seems to reflect the relaxation level of glassy structure. The Young
