Purpose: The aim of paper is presentation of results bulk metallic glasses thermal properties such as temperatures typical for glassy transition and thermal conductivity. Design/methodology/approach: Investigations were realized for Fe₃₆Co₃₆B_{19.2>/sub>Si_4.8Nb<sub4} samples with dimension 3 mm in diameter. Bulk test pieces were fabricated by copper mold casting method. Thermal analysis of master alloy (DTA) and samples in as-cast state (DSC) was realized. For amorphous structure confirmation the X-ray diffraction phase analysis (XRD) was realized. Additionally scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs were performed in order to structure analysis. Thermal conductivity was determined by prototype measuring station. Findings: The XRD and SEM analysis confirmed amorphous structure of samples. Broad diffraction “halo” was observed for every testing piece. Fracture morphology is smooth with many “veins” on the surface, which are characteristic for glassy state. DTA analysis confirmed eutectic chemical composition of master alloy. Thermal conductivity measurements proved that both samples have comparable thermal conductivity. Practical implications: The FeCo-based bulk metallic glasses have attracted great interest for a variety application fields for example precision machinery materials, electric applications, structural materials, sporting goods, medical devices. Thermal conductivity is useful and important property for example computer simulation of temperature distribution and glass forming ability calculation. Originality/value: The obtained results confirm the utility of applied investigation methods in the thermal and structure analysis of examined amorphous alloys. Thermal conductivity was determined using the prototype measuring station, which is original issue of the paper. In future, the measuring station will be expanded for samples with different dimensions.
