Abstract
Metallic-glass layers were produced on metallic bulk material using laser or electron beam melting. The requisite composition (FeCr12)80(C,B)20 for steel and Ni x Nb(100−x ), (x = 30 to 60) for niobium was obtained by coating the substrate prior to melting. X-ray, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and calorimetric methods were used to demonstrate and investigate the amorphous nature of the surface layer.
