The Al70Fe12.5V12.5Ni5, Al70Fe12.5V12.5Zr5 and Al70Fe12.5V12.5Nb5 alloys were prepared via mechanical alloying. The influence of Zr, Nb or Ni addition on the glass-forming ability of Al-Fe-V amorphous alloys have been investigated. The structure of Al70Fe12.5V12.5Ni5 was amorphous and Al70Fe12.5V12.5Zr5 was not completely amorphous by transmission…[Read more]
