Amorphous Ribbon
Amorphous alloys are solid alloys which are formed when the atoms do not crystallize in an orderly arrangement during super-rapid solidification. It belongs to long-range disordered and short-range ordered structure. Because there is no regular spatial lattice in amorphous alloys, there is no grain and grain boundary in amorphous alloys. Amorphous alloys are mainly composed of ferromagnetic elements (iron, cobalt, nickel) and non-metallic elements (Si, C, B, P, V, etc.). Due to the special microstructure and composition of amorphous alloy, it has many unique properties, such as excellent magnetic properties, mechanical properties (corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high strength, hardness and toughness), high resistivity and electromechanical coupling properties.
Preparation of Amorphous Alloys
The preparation technology of amorphous alloy is totally different from the traditional method. It adopts the super-rapid solidification technology with cooling rate of about 106 C/s. From molten steel to strip forming at one time, it reduces many intermediate processes compared with the general rolling process of metal strip, and there is no “three pollution” emission in the whole production process. It is known as energy saving,New green materials with environmental protection and high efficiency.
