The specific heat of Zr-based Zr60Al15Cu15Ni7.5Co2.5 and Zr65Al7.5Cu27.5 metallic glasses was measured in the temperature range from 77 to 800 K using an ac calorimeter. Several exothermic and endothermic processes were observed indicating the transformation sequences required to completely crystallize both glasses. A decrease in the specific heat is ascribed to structural relaxation. The specific heat increases monotonically through the glass transition temperature (Tg), peaks and then decreases abruptly with increasing temperature. The amplitude and maximum temperature (Tp) of the peak increase with an increase of heating rate. The Tp increases from 729 K at 2 K min−1 to 774 K at 40 K min−1.
