18. Alloy ingots were prepared by induction melting mixtures of the appropriate amounts of Fe (99.95%), Mo (99.95%), Ni (99.995%), Cr (99.99%), B crystal (99.5%), graphite powder (99.9995%), and P (99.9999%) in quartz tubes sealed under argon atmosphere. A 50-μm -thick Fe80 P12.5 C7.5 foil was prepared using an Edmund Buhler D-7400 splat quencher. All other alloys were formed into cylindrical rods by remelting the ingots in quartz tubes of 0.5-mm-thick walls under argon atmosphere and rapidly water quenching. X-ray diffraction with Cu K α radiation was performed to verify the amorphous nature of the foils and rods.
19. The specimen rods were notched using a wire saw with a root radius of 90 μm to a depth of approximately half the rod diameter. The notched specimens were placed on a 3-pt bending fixture with span distance of 12.7 mm. The critical fracture load was measured by applying a monotonically increasing load at constant cross-head speed of 0.1 mm/min. At least three tests were performed for each alloy.
