Glass forming ability of iron based amorphous alloys depending on Mo, Cr and Co content — •Uwe Siegel, Uta Kühn, and Jürgen Eckert — IFW Dresden, PF 27 01 16, D-01171 Dresden

The Fe41Co7Cr15Mo14C15B6Y2 multicomponent Fe-based alloy is known to be one of the best glass formers in iron-based systems and shows a critical casting thickness of 16 mm [1]. The elements constituting the alloy have different influences on the glass forming ability. Therefore, the content of Mo, Cr and Co was systematically changed in the master alloy Fe77-x(Co,Cr,Mo)xC15B6Y2 to investigate how these three elements support the glassy microstructure. It was found that a certain content of Mo, Cr, and Co leads to a microstructure of amorphous matrix and alpha-Fe precipitates without any carbides.
