In this work, Co40Fe22Ta8B30 alloy as a new bulk metallic glass with a wide supercooled liquid region of 74 K and excellent soft magnetic properties was prepared by the powder metallurgy method. Glassy Co40Fe22Ta8B30 powders were obtained by ball milling of melt-spun glassy ribbons at a cryogenic temperature and subsequently consolidated by hot pressing into disk-shaped specimens 10 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick. It was found that the new glassy alloy exhibited the largest diameter compared with the other Co-based bulk metallic glasses produced in the well-known Co–Fe–Ta–B alloying system up to now. The influence of the consolidation time on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the bulk samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, vibrating sample magnetometry and Faraday magnetometry. The results indicate that the new alloy exhibits a long incubation time before crystallization upon annealing above the glass transition temperature: noticeably longer than for other known (Co,Fe)-based amorphous alloys. The glassy bulk sample consolidated for 600 s at 923 K had a relative density of 99.2%, a saturation magnetization of 46.6 A m2 kg−1, a Curie temperature of 425 K and a low coercivity of 6 A m−1. In addition, the new bulk glassy alloy exhibited ultra-high hardness of 13.48 GPa. The mechanisms by which the thermal stability and incubation time prior to crystallization increase are explained in accordance with pair correlation function analysis.
