Recently, the precipitation of an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase (I-phase) in metallic Zr 6 5 Al 7 . 5 Ni 1 0 Cu 1 2 . 5 M 5 (M=Pd, Pt, Au and Ag) glasses, which were obtained by adding noble metals to the well-known metallic Zr 6 5 Al 7 . 5 Ni 1 0 Cu 1 7 . 5 glass, was reported. In the present work, the crystallization process of a metallic Zr 6 5 Al 7 . 5 Ni 5 Cu 1 7 . 5 Re 5 glass, which was obtained by adding non-noble metal Re to Zr 6 5 Al 7 . 5 Ni 1 0 Cu 1 7 . 5 , was studied. Two exothermic peaks were observed in the differential scanning calorimetry curve of the metallic glass, of which the low temperature one corresponds to the precipitation of an I-phase. The present result demonstrates that the addition of Re is effective in promoting the precipitation of I-phase, in addition to the previously reported noble metals (Pd, Pt, Au and Ag). The atomic radii of these elements are limited to the range of 0.137 to 0.144 nm, implying that atomic size is a significant factor.
