Ti 61.67 Zr 17.15 Ni 14.80 Cu 6.38 (atom fraction, %) metallic glass has applications in brazing. Using the hammer and anvil technique, Ti 61.67 Zr 17.15 Ni 14.80 Cu 6.38 metallic glass was prepared. The crystallization behavior for this metallic glass was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), X ray diffractometry(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). There are three stages in DSC curves of crystallization. The reduced glass temperature T rg is 0.42. The kinetic parameters of crystallization were calculated by a set of equations of the maximum crystallization rate. The crystalline phase formed in the MSI(Metastable stage I) is Zr 2Cu, in the MSII is α Ti and in the MSIII is Ti 2Ni. This kind of alloy has lower glass forming ability, and the Ti 61.67 Zr 17.15 Ni 14.80 Cu 6.38 metallic glass has lower thermal stability.
