In this work, we successfully prepare Fe80(P, C, B)20 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with the different content of P, C, B by combining fluxing treatment and J-quenching technique, and the effects of the metalloid elements (P, C, B) on the thermal stability and magnetic properties of the present Fe80(P, C, B)20 BMGs are investigated systematically. It is found that the replacements of P or B by C and P by B enhance the thermal stability of Fe80(P, C, B)20 BMGs. The substitutions of B for C or P and C for P result in the increase of both the saturation magnetization and the Curie temperature of Fe80(P, C, B)20 BMGs. •Fe80(P, C, B)20 BMGs with different content of metalloid elements have been prepared by fluxing and J-quenching techniques.•The replacements of P or B by C and P by B enhance the thermal stability of Fe-metalloid BMGs.•The substitutions of B for C or P and C for P result in the increase of both Bs and Tc of Fe-metalloid BMGs.
