AMORPHOUSE METAL ALLOY POWDERS AND BULK OBJECTS AND SYNTHESIS OF SAME BY SOLID STATE DECOMPOSITION REACTIONS

摘要

Amorphous metal alloy powders are synthesized by solid state decomposition reactions. At least one precursor compound is thermally decomposed at a temperature below the crystallization temperature of the amorphous metal alloy to be formed. The decomposition product comprises an intimate mixture of the elements of the alloy and, after heat-treating if necessary, exhibits amorphous characteristics.
