This invention refers to a kind of Gd big amorphous
alloy, whose main component is Gd. It also contains at least 50% by volume of
amorphous phase, and its composition can be indicated by the formula below: GdaAlbNicCudMe. (50<=a<=80, 5<=b<=20, 5<=c<=20, 5<=d<=20, 0<=e<=15, a+b+c+d+e=100). The transitional subgroup
metal element M said above is Sc, Nb, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Y, La, Pr, Nd or Hf. The
alloy is made in arc furnace of
argon atmosphere, and the
argon is adsorbed by Ti. The components said above are melted in the arc furnace to get mother
alloy cast
ingot. Then the conventional
metal casting method is used to molt the mother alloy cast
ingot. After that, we use the inspiring-and-
casting device in the arc furnace to inspire the bath into the water-cooling
copper mould. At last, the alloy comes out. This alloy has the strong ability to suppress
crystallization, so it is easy to form big amorphous alloy. Besides, it is easy to make and costs little. Also, the alloy has good magnetic performance and
magneto-optic performance, so it can be used as function material.
