Glass-Forming Ability and Thermal Stability of Fe-Co–Ni-Zr-Mo-W-B Bulk Amorphous Alloys
摘要
Amorphous rods with a diameter of 3 mm were prepared using the copper mold casting method. Differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy were employed to study the effects of Ni addition on the glass-forming ability and thermal stability of the Fe58Co10-xNixZr10Mo5W2B15 (x = 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, mol%) alloy system from a kinetic and structural perspective. The results indicate that the addition of Ni significantly improves the glass-forming ability of Fe58Co10-xNixZr10Mo5W2B15 alloys. The Fe58Co6Ni4Zr10Mo5W2B15 alloy achieves the best glass-forming ability with a crystallization temperature (Tx) of 887 K, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 957 K, a supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) of 70 K, a reduced glass transition temperature (Trg) of 0.5902, and a GFA parameter (γ) of 0.4004.
