Abstract
The influence of alloying substitutions from the 3d, 4d and 5d transition series on the thermal-stabilities of Fe-, Ni- and Co-based metallic glasses containing 10 at.%Si and 12 at.%B glass formers has been systematically investigated. The changes are interpreted in terms of variations in (s+d) electron concentration and of the size difference between solvent and solute metals. The effect of changes in metalloid ratios on the stabilities and formation of NiSiB alloys is also reported.
