Patent ID: 8501087

Claim:
A bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy consisting essentially of: (Au 1-x (Ag 1-y (Pd,Pt) y ) x ) a (Cu 1-z (Ni,Co,Fe,Cr,Mn) z ) b ((Si 1-v P v ) 1-w (Ge,Al,Y,Be) w ) c wherein a is in the range of from about 31 to about 64, b is in the range of from about 22 to about 36, and c is in the range of from about 12 to about 26, and where: x is between 0.05 and 0.15, y is between 0 and 0.8, z is between 0 and 0.1, v is between 0 and 0.5, and w is between 0 and 1; and wherein Si is greater than zero atomic percent to 17 atomic percent, Y is 5 atomic percent or less, and wherein the bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy has at least 50% amorphous content by volume and has a minimum thickness of about 1 mm.
