Abstract

We have succeeded in producing bulk metallic glass by partial substitution of Fe with Ni in Fe-B-Nb alloys which could otherwise be only melt spun into amorphous ribbons. Substitution by Ni in the Fe72-xB24Nb4Nix alloys with (x ~2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14) improves the glass forming ability of the materials and as a result rods of same compositions can be fabricated. Magnetically the BMG alloys remain soft with coercitivities below 500 mOe-However, the electrical resistivity of the system decreases significantly by as much as a factor of two with the increase of Ni concentration, and becomes more metallic like with a positive temperature coefficient.
