Development and Applications of Fe- and Co-based Bulk Glassy Alloys and Their Prospects　

The 20th International Symposium on Metastable, Amorphous and Nanostructured Materials (ISMANAM 2013), Torino Incontra Conference Centre, Torino, Italy

Glassy type metallic alloys exhibit unique characteristics which cannot be obtained for conventional amorphous alloys. For the last more than two decades, a number of bulk glassy alloy (BGA) systems have been developed and centimeter-class BGAs have been prepared in almost all alloy systems. Among them, Fe- and Co-based BGAs have attracted much attention and have been commercialized in various fields. This paper reviews recent developments and applications of Fe- and Co- based BGAs and their future prospects are also described.
