Properties of Co-based alloys with high Glass Forming Ability (GFA) in the form of powder are still not widely known. However, powders of high GFA alloys are often used for the development of bulk metallic glasses by additive manufacturing. In this work Co47.6B21.9Fe20.4Si5.1Nb5% at. and Co42B26.5Fe20Ta5.5Si5Cu1% at. were developed by gas-atomization. Obtained powders in size 50–80 µm were annealed at Tg and Tx of each alloy. Then SEM observation, EDS analyses, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, nanoindentation, Mössbauer, and magnetic properties research was carried out for as-atomized and annealed states. The gas atomization method proved to be an efficient method for manufacturing Co-based metallic glasses. The obtained powder particles were spherical and chemically homogeneous. Annealing resulted in an increase of mechanical properties such as hardness and the elastic module of Co47.6B21.9Fe20.4Si5.1Nb5% at and Co42B26.5Fe20Ta5.5Si5Cu1%, which was caused by crystallization. The magnetic study shows that Co47.6B21.9Fe20.4Si5.1Nb5 and Co42B26.5Fe20Ta5.5Si5Cu1 are soft magnetic and semi-hard magnetic materials, respectively.

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) formations in Co- and Fe-based alloy systems are investigated by using our cluster line approach in combination with minor alloying principle. Basic ternary alloy compositions in Co–B–Si, Fe–B–Y, and Fe–B–Si systems are first determined by cluster lines defined by linking special binary clusters to third elements. Then the basic ternary alloys are further minor alloyed with 3 to 5 at.% Nb to improve glass-forming abilities (GFAs) and ϕ3 mm BMGs are formed in (Co8B3–Si)–Nb and (Fe8B3–Y)–Nb but not in (Fe8B3–Si)–Nb, TM8B3 (TM = Fe, Co) being the most compact binary cluster. The BMGs are expressed approximately with a unified simple composition formula: (TM8B3)1M1, M = (Si, Nb) or (Y, Nb). Finally, mutual Fe and Co substitutions further improve the GFAs as well as the soft magnetic properties, e.g., Is reaching 0.98 T and Hc < 6 A/m for the Co–Fe–B–Si–Nb BMGs. Using the (cluster)1(glue atom)1 model, a new ternary BMG Fe8B3Nb1 is obtained.

The effect of B2O3 fluxing on the glass-forming ability (GFA), the structure and the soft magnetic properties of Fe (-Co)-B-Si-Nb bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has been investigated. The large Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb BMG specimens with diameters up to 7.7 mm, which is approximately 1.5 times as large as that of the maximum diameter of the copper mold cast one (= 5 mm), were prepared by the fluxing and water quenching. Thus the GFA of the Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb BMG are improved by the fluxing. It was confirmed that the soft magnetic properties of the Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb BMG are also improved by the fluxing. On the other hand, it was found for the Co-free Fe-B-Si-Nb BMG that the B2O3 fluxing promotes the precipitation of the α-Fe (-Si) and Fe2B phases in the central region of the specimens; i.e., the GFA of the Fe-B-Si-Nb BMG is decreased by the fluxing. The Fe-B-Si-Nb BMG specimens show a flat hysteresis loop, indicating a good linear relationship between the magnetic induction and the applied magnetic field. These results of the Fe-B-Si-Nb BMG show that it is possible to develop a new soft magnetic material that exhibits constant permeability, which is necessary for producing inductors and choke coils.

The effect of C substitution on the glass forming ability (GFA) and soft magnetic properties of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (BMG) Fe79.4-xCxSi3.5B5.1P8.9Mo3Mn0.1(x = 4.2, 5.2, and 7.0) alloys have been investigated. It is revealed that fully glassy alloy rods with diameters up to 4 mm can be prepared by conventional copper mold casting method even using the low-cost industrial Fe-P master alloy. Properly substituting of Fe by C gives rise to an enhancement of GFA. Moreover, all the samples exhibit good soft magnetic properties with high saturation magnetization up to 1.16 T and low coercivity of 204 A/m.

The thermal stability, glass-forming ability, soft-magnetic properties and mechanical properties of Co46Fe19+xB22.5Si5.5Nb7–x (x=0–2) bulk metallic glasses were investigated. The 5.5 at% Nb addition was found to be effective in approaching alloy to a eutectic point, resulting in an increase in glass-forming ability. By copper mold casting, bulk metallic glass rods with diameters up to 5 mm were produced. Except for high glass-forming ability, the bulk metallic glasses also exhibit good soft-magnetic properties, i.e., low coercive force of 1.34–2.14 A/m, high effective permeability at 1 kHz of 2.26–3.06×104, and high fractures strength (σf) of 4010–4460 MPa. This Co-based bulk metallic glass system with high strengths and excellent soft-magnetic properties is promising for future applications as a new functional material.
