Ti40Zr10Cu32Pd14Ga4 and Ti40Zr10Cu32Pd14Sn4 (in at%) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with different geometries (wedges, rods, ribbons and discs) were prepared by suction casting, melt spinning and splat quenching, respectively. For comparison, the reference Ti40Zr10Cu36Pd14 BMG was cast as a rod with 2 mm diameter and in wedge-shaped form. High-energy X-ray diffraction measurements yielded a critical casting thickness of 2.4, 2.1 and at least 4 mm for the reference, Ga-containing, and Sn-containing BMGs, respectively. The extension of the supercooled liquid region of about 50 K, measured for the glassy rods and ribbons by differential scanning calorimetry, is larger than that of only 20 K found for the splat-quenched discs. As to the alloys’ mechanical properties, the Ti40Zr10Cu36Pd14 glassy rods deform plastically in compression up to a strain of 3.8% and possess a Young’s modulus of 78 GPa. The Sn- and Ga- containing BMG rods reach respectively a plastic strain of 6.1% and 4.7%, and a Young’s modulus of 72 and 63 GPa. Corrosion tests were performed by electrochemical experiments, and the highest pitting resistance was observed for Ti40Zr10Cu32Pd14Sn4 (pitting overpotential ηpit = 446 mV) compared to Ti40Zr10Cu32Pd14Ga4 (379 mV) and Ti40Zr10Cu36Pd14 (183 mV). The results of live/dead assay and cell viability revealed excellent biocompatibility for the Ga-containing BMGs.
