New bulk metallic glasses are produced by substituting a few atomic percentages of
iron with yttrium in the Fe45−xCr16Mo16C18B5Yx (x=0,
1, 2, 3) alloy systems. The study shows that the optimum yttrium content in the alloy
for the best glass-forming ability is 2 at.%, and with this
composition fully amorphous as-cast samples with a size
