Abstract: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 magnet… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
