Ll. Wang et al., ON STRUCTURE AND CRYSTALLIZATION OF AMORPHOUS FE-MO-W-B ALLOYS OBTAINED BY ELECTROLESS PLATING, Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde, 88(12), 1997, pp. 945-948
Quaternary amorphous Fe-Mo-W-B alloy have been deposited by electroles
s plating. The structure and crystallization processes of the alloys h
ave been studied by X-ray diffraction. It is found that for boron cont
ents of 9.8 to 27.3 at.%, the structure is amorphous, which is wider t
han the range for the binary Fe-B, but is more narrow than that of ter
nary Fe-Mo-B amorphous films. A two-step process of crystallization is
observed for the deposits. At first, the crystallization phases are a
lpha-Fe, Fe3B and (Mo, W),B-2, then Fe2B, (Mo, W)B and Fe-2(Mo, W) for
high temperatures in the amorphous films.
