The glass forming ability, thermal stability and non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of Zr64Al10.1Cu11.7Ni14.2 glass forming alloy were investigated. Its maximum glass forming dimension is up to 5mm and its critical cooling rate is less than 40Ks-1. The apparent activation energies derived from the Kissinger for Eg, Ex, Ep1 and Ep2 are 244.97±12.90, 264.63±10.18, 268.75±40.10 and 222.34±24.12 KJmol-1, respectively. The fragility parameter m is about 20.27, indicating its better thermal stability and glass forming ability.
