Abstract:

New ferromagnetic high-entropy bulk metallic glasses (HE-BMGs) with superior glass-forming ability (GFA) and high strength were developed in the pseudo quaternary FeCoNi(P, C, B, Si) system. The HE-BMG rods were fabricated by copper mold casting method in the composition range of Fe₂₅Co₂₅Ni₂₅(P_0.3–0.5C_0.1–0.3B_0.2–0.3Si_0.1–0.3)₂₅, in which the Fe₂₅Co₂₅Ni₂₅(P_0.4C_0.2B_0.2Si_0.2)₂₅and Fe₂₅Co₂₅Ni₂₅(P_0.5C_0.1B_0.2Si_0.2)₂₅alloys possess the largest critical diameter of 2.0 mm. The HE-BMGs exhibit excellent soft magnetic and mechanical properties, i.e., low coercivity of 0.8–2.1 A/m, high saturation magnetization of 0.80–0.86 T, high compressive yield strength of 2970–3076 MPa, and large plastic strain of 1.9–2.1%. The mechanisms of the high GFA and good magnetic softness of the alloys were discussed.
