Abstract
Mechanical properties of cast Fe-based bulk glassy alloy rods with compositions of (Fe0.75B0.15Si0.1)96Nb4 and Fe77Ga3P9.5C4B4Si2.5 were examined by compression and Vickers hardness tests. The Young's modulus (E), yield strength (σy), fracture strength (σf), elastic strain (εe), fracture strain (εf), and Vickers hardness (H v) were 175 GPa, 3165 MPa, 3250 MPa, 1.8%, 2.2%, and 1060, respectively, for the former alloy and 182 GPa, 2980 MPa, 3160 MPa, 1.9%, 2.2%, and 870, respectively, for the latter alloy. The εf /E and H v/3E were 0.019–0.017 and 0.020–0.016, respectively, for the alloys, in agreement with the previous data for a number of bulk glassy alloys. The agreement suggests that these Fe-based bulk glassy alloys have an elastic–plastic deformation mode. The syntheses of high-strength Fe-based bulk glassy alloys with distinct compressive plastic strain and elastic–plastic deformation mode are encouraging for future development of Fe-based bulk glassy alloys as structural and soft magnetic materials.
