Formation and thermal properties of glassy NiFe based alloys

The formation and thermal properties of glassy NiFe based alloys were investigated. The NiFePBSiAl alloys were found to exhibit a wide range of glass-forming compositions and could be quenched to the glassy state with relative ease and reproducibility. The variation of the glass transition temperature with a change in the ratio of Ni to Fe and with variations in the P, B, C, Si and Al content are reported.
