Purpose: This paper presents studies relating to the structure, magnetic properties and thermal stability of the following bulk amorphous alloys: Fe61Co10Ti3-xY6+xB20 (where x = 0 or 1) Design/methodology/approach: The investigated samples were prepared in the form of rods by using the suction-casting method. The material structures were investigated using X-ray diffractometry and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The thermal stability was determined on the basis of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) plots The magnetic properties were studied using a completely automated set up for measuring susceptibility and its disaccommodation. Findings: It was found that both alloys were amorphous in the as-cast state. The DSC curve obtained for Fe61Co10Ti2Y7B20 alloy exhibited one exothermic peak, while for the Fe61Co10Ti3Y6B20 sample, two peaks were distinguishable, corresponding to the crystallization of the sample. The bifurcation of the maximum on the DSC curve for the Fe61Co10Ti3Y6B20 sample may also testify to the presence of the primary crystallizing phase (FeCo)23B6 [1,2]. Data obtained from the analysis of the magnetic susceptibility disaccommodation curves clearly show that in the Fe61Co10Ti3Y6B20 alloy there is less free volumes than in the second of the investigated alloys, this results in a lesser range of relaxation time. Moreover, Fe61Co10Ti3Y6B20 alloy exhibits the better time and thermal stability of magnetic properties In both of the studied alloys, at low frequencies, the total losses were comparable with those observed in classical silicon-iron alloys. Practical implications: A Ferrometer was used for the determination of core losses. Originality/value: The paper presents some researches of the Fe-based bulk amorphous alloys obtained by the suction-casting method.
