Abstract

The materials from Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb system have several interesting and useful properties such as high mechanical strength, abrasive and corrosion resistance and good electrical properties useful in many applications, for example: materials for sensors and precise current transformers. The aim of the presented work was to obtain Fe-based alloy in an amorphous state and examination atoms arrangement in its structure which has an influence on material properties. Multicomponent alloy with nominal composition of Fe37.44Co34.56B19.2Si4.8Nb4 was obtained by pressure die casting method in form of plate with thickness of d=1mm. The structure of rapidly solidified plate was examined by X-ray diffraction. This investigation revealed that the studied sample was amorphous. Based on experimental X-ray data the pair distribution function was calculated and discussion on possible atoms arrangement was carried out.
