Abstract
The ferromagnetic metallic glass alloys in the Co-Fe-B-Si-M (M = Mo or Nb) system were investigated. Ingots of [(Co1−x Fe x )0.75B0.2Si0.05]96Mo4 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0) and [(Co1−x Fe x )0.75 B0.2Si0.05]96Nb4 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0) alloys were cast into about 30 µm-thick ribbons by using a melt spinning method. As-spun ribbons were identified as being fully amorphous by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal stability parameters, such as the supercooled liquid region (ΔT x = T g − T x ) and the exothermic heat (ΔH Exo ), were measured by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). For Co-Fe-B-Si-Mo alloys, ΔT x and ΔH Exo were in the range of 41.4–81.7 K and 23.40–104.21 J/g, and for Co-Fe-B-Si-Nb alloys, ΔT x and ΔH Exo were in the range of 60.4–88.0 K and 18.45–62.05 J/g, respectively. These glassy ribbons also exhibited semi-hard magnetic properties, i.e., a coercive force (H c ) of 67.26–100.68 Oe and a saturation magnetization (M s ) of 341.288–746.176 emu·cm3.
