Figure 1685 shows the dependence of electrical resistivity on temperature for Zr₅₇Al₁₀Ni_12.6Cu_15.4Nb₅ alloy at the heating rate of 15 K/min. The TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) changes at about 670 K because of glass transition, and suddenly drops at the temperature of ~ 750 K because of crystallization. T_g-dep is the characteristic temperature, while T_x is the crystallization temperature.
