It was found that the Ti45−xZrxNi45−zCuz (0≤x≤10, 0≤z≤10) metallic glasses crystallize polymorphously and the crystal phase forms a solid solution of Zr and Cu in the TiNi phase. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the crystallization kinetics of Ti–Zr–Ni–Cu metallic glasses near glass transition temperature. The fraction transformed y, as a function of time are of sigmoidal type at each temperature. For 0.10≤y≤0.85 the plots satisfy the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation and approximate to straight lines with exponent n varying from 3.1 to 3.9 as the annealing temperature increases. The activation energy for the crystallization of Ti45Zr5Ni45Cu5 metallic glass estimated from the temperature corresponding to 50% transformation is close to 380 kJ/mol.
