AMORPHOUS METAL ALLOY POWDERS AND SYNTHESIS OF SAME BY SOLID STATE CHEMICAL REDUCTION REACTIONS

摘要

Amorphous metal alloy powders may be synthesized by solid state reactions. Precursor components that include the elements of the amorphous alloy are chemically reduced to yield an intimate mixture. The resultant intimate mixture, as obtained or after heat-treating, exhibits amorphous characteristics. These powders are suitable for forming solid amorphous shapes.
