Iron-based amorphous alloys and methods of synthesizing iron-based amorphous alloys

摘要

A method according to one embodiment includes combining an amorphous iron-based alloy and at least one metal selected from a group consisting of molybdenum, chromium, tungsten, boron, gadolinium, nickel phosphorous, yttrium, and alloys thereof to form a mixture, wherein the at least one metal is present in the mixture from about 5 atomic percent (at %) to about 55 at %; and ball milling the mixture at least until an amorphous alloy of the iron-based alloy and the at least one metal is formed. Several amorphous iron-based metal alloys are also presented, including corrosion-resistant amorphous iron-based metal alloys and radiation-shielding amorphous iron-based metal alloys.

主权项

1. An amorphous iron-based alloy, comprising:
between about 10 atomic percent (at %) and about 50 at % iron; from 0 at % to about 25 at % of a material selected from a group consisting of manganese, carbon, silicon, zirconium, and titanium; and at least two of the following constituents:
between about 5 at % and about 30 at % of at least one material selected from a group consisting of molybdenum, tungsten, gadolinium, nickel phosphorous, yttrium, and alloys thereof;between about 20 at % and about 55 at % chromium;between about 30 at % and about 55 at % boronwherein the at least two constituents comprise the molybdenum; andwherein the molybdenum is present in the alloy at between about 15 at % and about 30 at %.
