The amorphous Cu50Zr40Ni5Ti5 alloy was produced by melt-spinning at wheel speeds of 35, 38 and 41 m s−1. The resulting melt-spun ribbons were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Vickers microhardness (HV) tester. The XRD and SEM results revealed that the rapidly solidified ribbons have a fully amorphous structure. After partial or fully crystallisation of Cu50Zr40Ni5Ti5 ribbons upon annealing, the microstructure had uneven and irregularly shaped features with the existence of Cu10Zr7, Cu8Zr3, CuZr and FCC-Cu phases while as quenched ribbons had featureless microstructure. The SEM-EDX analysis confirmed compositional homogeneity of the Cu50Zr40Ni5Ti5 alloy ribbon. According to DSC results, the amorphous ribbons exhibited distinct glass transition temperature (Tg) and wide supercooled liquid region (ΔTx = Tx − Tg) before crystallization. Accordingly, Tg and ΔTx are around 409–414 °C and 37–54 °C, respectively. The microhardness of the as-quenched ribbons was about 522 HV while it decreased with increasing annealing temperature and had a value of 463 HV for 725 °C.
