Abstract

Abstract:

Fe₄₃M₅Cr₁₅Mo₁₄C₁₅B₆Y₂ (M = Mn, Co, Ni, and Cu in at.%) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are synthesized using the suction casting technique, and the glass-forming ability (GFA), microstructure, and thermal and magnetic properties of these glasses are extensively examined using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques. Among the four BMG alloys, Fe₄₃Ni₅Cr₁₅Mo₁₄C₁₅B₆Y₂ exhibits the lowest coercivity and the highest saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, effective magnetic moment, and GFA. By contrast, Fe₄₃Mn₅Cr₁₅Mo₁₄C₁₅B₆Y₂ presents the poorest magnetic properties, such as the highest coercivity and the lowest saturation magnetization, Curie temperature, and effective magnetic moment. Fe₄₃Cu₅Cr₁₅Mo₁₄C₁₅B₆Y₂demonstrates the lowest thermal stability and GFA. The observed thermal, structural, and magnetic properties of these BMG alloys are discussed in terms of the kinetics of BMG synthesization and the formation of different ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and antiferromagnetic phases.

Key words: Bulk metallic glasses, Saturation magnetization, Effective magnetic moment, Coercivity, Glass-forming ability
