Abstract

METGLAS alloy #2826 (Fe40Ni40P14B6) is a eutectic alloy. Its melt can undergo metastable liquid state spinodal decomposition deep in the undercooling regime ΔT defined as ΔT = T1 - T where T1 is the liquidus of the alloy and T is the temperature at which the decomposition reaction takes place. Micrographs of undercooled Fe40Ni40P14B6 of ΔT = 209, 260 and 307 K were displayed. All of them exhibit refined microstructures, esp. the one with the largest ΔT.
