Objemová kovová skla na bázi železa - optimalizace odlévání

In this paper, the iron-based alloy was studied that is perspective for preparation of bulk metallic glass. The nominal composition of investigated material is given by the formula Fe.sub.56./sub.Co.sub.7./sub.Zr.sub.10./sub.Mo.sub.5./sub.W.sub.2./sub. B.sub.15./sub.. Two casting techniques were applied: (i) conventional casting into a copper mould in the induction furnace and (ii) casting in the arc furnace in the copper mould. In the first case, the diameter of the ingot was about 11 mm. In the second case, the special two-parts copper moulds differing in diameters of the casting inlet hole (3 and 1 mm, respectively) were used. The microstructure of alloys prepared by both techniques was studied using the light optical microscopy, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and XRD (X-ray diffraction)
