Abstract
Abstract A substantially amorphous or microcrystalline Al-based alloy, wherein said Al-based alloy is represented by the formula: AlaMbM'cXdYe in which: a+b+c+d+e=100 50</=a</=95 atom % 0</=b</=40 atom % 0</=c</=15 atom % 0</=d</=20 atom % 0</=e</=3 atom % wherein at least two of the subscripts b, c or d are strictly positive, and wherein M is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Mn, Ni, Cu, Zr, Cr, Ti, V, Fe and Co; M' is Mo, W, or a mixture thereof, X is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ca, Li, Mg, Ge, Si, and Zn; and Y is the inevitable production impurities, with the proviso that when element M is Co, Mn and/or Ni, the total amount of these elements is at least 12 wt % of the alloy.
