Abstract (en)
An alloy is disclosed which contains at least four components. Optionally, a small proportion of a fifth component may be present. The alloy has a bulk structure containing at least one amorphous phase. The alloy composition follows an "80:20 scheme", i.e., the alloy composition is [(A x D 100-x ) a (E y G 100-y ) 100-a ] 100-b Z b with the number "a" being approximately 80. Component A is Zr, Hf, Ti, Nb, La, Pd and/or Pt. The other components D, E, G and, optionally, Z are all different from each other and different from component A. Component A is the main component of the alloy. Importantly, the alloy is substantially free of nickel. This makes the alloy especially suitable for medical applications. Methods of preparing such an alloy, uses of the alloy and articles manufactured from the alloy are also disclosed.
