The structure and properties of rapid cooled iron based alloy

Abstract

In this paper we studied the structure of rapidly cooled alloy which composition was based on iron. Samples were prepared using arc melting under protective atmosphere of argon and then casted in the process of rapid cooling into water cooled copper mold. Samples of the same composition were also made using the liquid melt casting method on a spinning copper roll. The high purity samples in the form of rods and ribbons were obtained. As expected, the obtained samples were characterized by an amorphous structure as confirmed by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies.
