Development of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (BMG) with good mechanical and soft magnetic properties has become a major objective in the materials science field. Bulk metallic glasses present an interesting combination of properties. They exhibit very high strength (both in tension and compression), large elastic elongation limit, high hardness, excellent corrosion resistance, and good soft magnetic properties. These properties makes them suitable for many applications like high resistant control cables, pressure vessels, micro-components, pressure sensors, microgears for motors, magnetic cores for power supplies and hard fibers in composite materials. Multi-component Fe60Co14Ga2P10B5Si3Al3C3bulk metallic glass was synthesized in rod form with a diameter of 1 mm by copper mould casting technique using raw industrial materials. The obtained alloy was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, in order to determine the phase constituent, the thermal stability and the fracture surfaces of as-cast samples. The mechanical behaviour was investigated by microhardness and compression tests. The values recorded for hardness and fracture strength includes this alloy in the category of high resistant materials.

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.

We Successfully Prepared the Rod Glassy Samples of (Fe1-xCox)76Si9B10P5 (x = 0~0.4) Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) with the Diameters up to 3.0 mm by Substituting Fe for a Small Amount of Co Element. A Certain Amount of Co Substitution for Fe Contributes to the Increase of the Glass-Forming Ability (GFA) while Maintaining Good Mechanical Properties (the Fracture Strength up to 3700 MPa). This Co-Added Ferromagnetic Bulk Glassy Alloy System Also Exhibits a Higher Saturation Magnetization of 1.49 T and Lower Coercive Force (Hc, 1.2 A/m). The Fe-Based BMGs with Alloying a Small Amount of Co Element Demonstrate Excellent Combination of High GFA, Good Soft-Magnetic Properties as Well as High Strength.

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.
