Abstract
Commercial stainless steel alloys have been made into amorphous, or glassy, states by adding nearly 10 at % of refractory metals, such as W or Ti, via high-rate sputter deposition. The formation of these stable amorphous stainless steel alloys required alloy compositions beyond the equilibrium b c c solid solution phase field. For the amorphous alloys containing W, the crystallization temperature increased from 760 to 1035 K as the W content was increased from 11 at% W to 23 at % W. The high crystallization temperatures were attributed to the high resistence to crystallization of the complex intermediate χ and Μ phases, which occurred at 11 and 23 at % W respectively.
