New Fe-based amorphous alloys in Fe-Co-Ni-Zr-B system exhibiting a wide supercooled liquid region before crystallization and good soft magnetic properties were found to be formed by melt spinning. The composition range of the amorphous (Fe1-x-yCoxNiy)70Zr 10B20 alloys with the wide supercooled liquid region above 50 K extends from 0 to 36 at%Co and 0 to 30%Ni and the largest value of the supercooled liquid region defined by the difference between the glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallization temperature (Tx), ΔTx(= Tx-Tg) is 68 K for Fe56Co7Ni7Zr10B20. The crystallization from the supercooled liquid of the Fe56Co7Ni7Zr10B20 alloy upon continuous heating occurs through a single stage and the resulting crystallized structure consists of α-Fe, Fe2Zr and Fe3B phases containing Co and Ni elements. These Fe-based amorphous alloys exhibit good soft magnetic properties and the saturation magnetization, coercive force, permeability at 1 kHz and Curie temperature are respectively 0.96 T, 2.41 A/m, 17700 and 567 K for the amorphous Fe56Co7Ni7Zr10B20 alloy annealed for 600 s at 750 K. The finding of the Fe-based amorphous alloys with good soft magnetic properties and high thermal stability of the supercooled liquid is important for future development of ferromagnetic bulk amorphous alloys.
