Abstract
Abstract Iron group-boron base amorphous alloys have improved ultimate tensile strength and hardness and do not embrittle when heat treated at temperatures employed in subsequent processing steps, as compared with prior art amorphous alloys. The alloys have the formula MaM'bCrcM''dBe WHERE M is one iron group element (iron, cobalt or nickel) M' is at least one of the two remaining iron group elements, M'' is at least one element of vanadium, manganese, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium and tantalum, "a" ranges from about 40 to 85 atom percent, "b" ranges from 0 to about 45 atom percent, "c" and "d" both range from 0 to about 20 atom percent and "e" ranges from about 15 to 25 atom percent, with the proviso that "b", "c" and "d" cannot all be zero simultaneously.
