The effects of a small addition of Ag and Ti on the thermal stability, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of Zr-Co-Al bulk metallic glass (BMG) were investigated. A 5 at.% addition of Ag and Ti to the Zr-Co-Al base alloy improved the thermal stability and had no significant effect on the mechanical properties but considerably improved the wear behavior. The coefficient of friction decreased while the wear rate increased with increasing normal loads for all three alloys. Zr-Co-Al-Ti showed the best tribological performance among the studied alloys, with coefficient of friction and wear rate lower by a factor of four compared to Zr-Co-Al BMG. Predominantly oxidative wear was seen for the quaternary Zr-Co-Al-Ag and Zr-Co-Al-Ti BMGs at higher loads in contrast to abrasive and adhesive wear for the ternary Zr-Co-Al base alloy. These results highlight the potential of Ag and Ti micro-alloying for improving the mechanical and tribological properties of Zr-based amorphous alloys.
