The present disclosure relates to a glass forming alloy. The glass forming alloy may include 43.0 atomic percent to 68.0 atomic percent iron, 10.0 atomic percent to 19.0 atomic percent boron, 13.0 atomic percent to 17.0 atomic percent nickel, 2.5 atomic percent to 21.0 atomic percent cobalt, optionally 0.1 atomic percent to 6.0 atomic percent carbon, and optionally 0.3 atomic percent to 3.5 atomic percent silicon. Furthermore, the glass forming alloy includes between 5% to 95% by volume one or more spinodal glass matrix microconstituents which include one or more semi-crystalline or crystalline phases at a length scale less than 50 nm in a glass matrix. In addition, the glass forming alloy is capable of blunting shear bands through localized deformation induced changes under tension. |
