Due to their unique property combination of high strength and toughness, metallic glasses are promising materials for structural applications. As the behaviour of metallic glasses depends on the electronic structure which in turn is defined by chemical composition, we investigate systematically the influence of B content on glass transition, topology, magnetism and bonding for B contents between 2 and 92 at% in the (Co6.8Ta1)1−xBx system. From an electronic structure and coordination point of view the B concentration range is divided into three regions: Below 38 ± 5 at% B, the material is a metallic glass due to the dominance of metallic bonds. Above 67 ± 5 at% the presence of an icosahdra-like B-network is observed. As the B concentration is increased above 38 ± 5 at%, the B-network evolves while the metallic coordination of the material decreases until the B concentration of 67 ± 5 at% is reached. Hence, a composite is formed. It is evident that based on the B concentration the ratio of metallic bonding to icosahedral bonding in the composite can be controlled.
