Soft magnetic Co-based Co–Y–Nb–B bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) without Fe have been developed by micro-alloying Y and Nb into a Co75B25alloy. First, addition of 3–4 at.% Y promotes the occurrence of glass transition and increases the supercooled liquid stability and magnetic softness. Co71.5Y3.5B25metallic glass possesses a large supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) of 33 K and low coercivity (Hc) of 1.5 A/m. Subsequent alloying 2–4 at.% Nb into Co71.5Y3.5B25alloy further enlarges ΔTxto 50 K, lowersHcto 0.9 A/m, and enables the formation of BMGs with a critical sample diameter up to 2.0 mm. The alloying Nb causes the formation of complex (Co, Nb, Y)23B6competing phase during crystallization and widens the melt undercooling during solidification, which improves the supercooled liquid stability and glass-forming ability, respectively. Co–Y–Nb–B BMGs also exhibit good soft magnetic and mechanical properties, i.e., lowHcof 0.9–1.2 A/m, relatively high saturation magnetic flux density of 0.36–0.57 T, high yielding strength of 3877–3930 MPa with plastic strain of 0.2%–0.3%, and high Vickers hardness of 1156–1201. The developed soft magnetic Co-based BMGs are promising for applications as structural and functional materials.
