Metal Fe-Based Amorphous and Amorphous – Nanocrystalline Materials for Armours Construction

Abstract

In the present paper, the physical and technical principles of process for production of bulk amorphous alloys are shown. Technical assumptions for construction of experimental unit for melting and casting of new alloys are described. On the basis of the constructional assumptions the laboratory unit for melting and casting of amorphous alloys was made at Product Technology and Application Group in Institute for Ferrous Metallurgy. Fe-based bulk metallic glasses are modern materials of strength properties substantially higher than could be obtained in currently produced steels. Owing to unique combination of high strength, hardness, elasticity, wear and corrosion resistance as well as specific magnetic properties they demonstrate a great potential for application. The paper contains the results of the investigations aimed at development of technology of making parts from Fe-based bulk amorphous alloys which would be deployed in layered passive armours.
