Bulk metallic glasses, like many crystalline intermetallics, have large negative enthalpy of mixing among the m^jor constituent elements, and hence are potential candidates of self-propagating high-temperature reaction systems. Based on this characteristic, the laser-induced combustion synthesis (LCS) technique is applied to fabricate Zr₅₅Ti_10.8Al_17.1Ni_17.1 alloy. The product consists of amorphous, Zr2Ni and Ζr6Al2Ni intermetallic phases and Ti/Zr solid solution· Compared with single amorphous alloy, the product shows higher microhardness and lower friction coefficient.
