Abstract

The equilibrium solidification behaviour of Fe-rich Fe-B-Si alloys has been characterized in terms of primary and secondary crystallization, and correlated to metallic glass formation and properties. A eutectic trough extends from the binary eutectic on the Fe-B edge of the ternary composition diagram toward the binary eutectic on the Fe-Si edge. Metallic glass forming compositions closely follow the path of the eutectic trough, extending from the Fe-B edge to compositions containing approximately 20 at% Si. The relative ease of glass formation and the thermal stability of the glassy state are maximized at compositions along the eutectic trough. The magnetic coercive forces of both as-cast and annealed metallic glasses are minimized along the eutectic trough.
