Abstract

The master alloy ingots (MAI) with the nominal composition Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 and Fe61Co7Zr10Mo5W2B 15 (at%) were prepared by arc-melting in Ti-guttered Ar atmosphere. The Zr-based buttons of 6 mm and 9 mm in diameter were fully amorphous, but those of 13 mm in diameter experienced crystallization. The glass forming ability (GFA) of Fe-based alloys was relatively lower, and the buttons obtained were fully crystallized. The microhardness of the Zr-based buttons was about 500 (Hv), and the Fe-based rod obtained by injection technique exhibited a high Vickers hardness of 1329. In addition, an amorphous-crystalline transition layers were observed in both the buttons and the rods.
