As new catalytic materials, amorphous alloys have attracted much attention since 1980s. Rapid solidification is one of the main techniques to prepare amorphous alloys.However, as-cast rapidly solidified alloys usually can not be directly used as the catalyst for their poor surface area, oxide film on their surface, etc. Therefore, activation pretreatment must be carried out. Recently, leaching aluminum has been attempted to activate rapidly solidified amorphous catalytic alloys containing aluminum. In order to carry out such an activation pretreatment, the Al-rich amorphous precursor alloys must be obtained first, in which the content of active component must be sufficiently high so that the catalytic activity of the activated catalyst can be attained. On the other hand, the chemical composition of the precursor must approach eutectic point or contribute to the range of low liquidus temperature so that the glass transition can be easily achieved according to the solidification theory[1]. So far Al-based alloys which meet the dual confinement have not been found yet. For Ni-Al and Cu-Al systems,only the microcrystalline alloys can be obtained through rapid solidification[2,3].In the present study, glass formation was achieved by introducing promotion elements in Ni-Al system precursor alloys.
