Macroscopically phase separated melt-spun ribbon. Continuous rapidly solidified ribbon shows Co-Si-B amorphous / Cu crystal dual layer structure [1,2]
We firstly develop a dual-layer ribbon by conventional single-roller melt-spinning method [1,2]. In Co-Cu-Si-B melt-spun ribbon, the roll-side surface comprised Co-Si-B-based amorphous phase with Cu crystalline nanoscale globules, while the free surface showed a thin crystalline Cu layer. A macroscopically separated unique structure was obtained by the simultaneous occurrence of liquid phase separation of the Co-Cu-based alloy system and amorphous phase formation in the Co-Si-B alloy layer.
