An amorphous phase has been synthesized by mechanical alloying in a planetary mill over a nickel content range of 10-70 at.% in the Ti-Ni system and a copper content range of 10-50 at.% in the Ti-Cu system. In the case of ternary Ti-Ni-Cu alloys the glass-forming composition range has been found to

✦ Synopsis
The mechanical alloying (MA) technique was applied to the Cu-Ta system, which has been known to be immiscible and never amorphized by the conventional rapid quenching technique. The possibility of the solid state amorphization of Cu30Ta70 powders was examined and it was found to proceed positively during MA. Experimental evidence that amorphization had taken place was demonstrated through X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies. The present results suggest the importance of an energetically up-hill process through ball milling for amorphization of the system with a positive heat of mixing.
