Abstract

The critical cooling rate of the Fe61Co5Zr 8Y2Cr2Mo7B15 bulk amorphous alloy was determined to be 37 K/s, providing an indication that this alloy has a high glass-forming ability. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of the Fe61Co5Zr8Y2Cr 2Mo7B15 amorphous alloy prepared by using the copper-mold casting or melt-spinning were also investigated. It is found that the activation energies in the non-isothermal crystallization process show a strong dependence on the cooling rates for glass formation, revealing that the melt-spun amorphous alloy has a higher thermal stability.
