Formation of bulk magnetic ternary Fe80P13C7 glassy alloy

Bulk magnetic Fe80P13C7 glassy alloy rods with a maximum diameter of ∼2.0 mm have been prepared by means of the fluxing technique and so-called J-quenching technique and it is the first ternary Fe-metalloid-based bulk magnetic glassy alloy reported. The magnetic measured results for the as-prepared specimens indicate a very high saturation magnetization Js of 1.53 T at room temperature. The compressive test shows that the as-prepared rod specimens have a high compressive strength of 3.23 GPa and a considerable large plastic strain of 1.1%.
