Microstructure and some magnetic properties of bulk amorphous (Fe0.61Co0.10Zr0.025Hf0.025Ti0.02W0.02B0.20)100−xYx (x=0, 2, 3 or 4) alloys

▶ Microstructure and magnetic properties of amorphous. ▶ Fe0.61Co0.10Zr0.025Hf0.025Ti0.02W0.02B0.20)100−xYx (x=0, 2, 3 or 4) rods in the as-cast state. ▶ After the annealing at 720 K for 15 min are studied. ▶ The best thermal stability exhibits the alloy with x=3. ▶ The atom packing density increases with yttrium concentration.
