Abstract

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) represent a viable alternative for replacing classic materials used in medical devices. This paper presents the research conducted in order to obtain copper based BMGs using two different chemical compositions: Cu48Zr47Al5 and Cu45Zr45Al5Ag5. The samples were obtained by copper mold casting and their structure and properties were investigated using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and optical microscopy.
