A new series of Fe80−x−yCrxMoyP13C7 (x=10, y=10; x=20, y=5; x=20, y=10, all in at.%) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with the maximum diameter of 6mm have been developed for biomedical implant application by the combination method of fluxing treatment and J-quenching technique. The corrosion performanc...
