To consolidate [(Fe_(0.5)Co_(0.5))_(0.75)Si_(0.05)B_(0.2)]_(96)Nb_4 metallic glassy powder to full density, a pressurized liquid phasesintering was employed, which was intended to promote a viscous flow deformation of solid particles and alsoto enhance the intergranular permeation of the liquid phase. Al-32.5wt.%Cu was chosen as a liquid phasecomponent having low melting point. The mixed powders were sintered by induction heating furnace withheating rate of 200 K/min and applying pressure of 400 Mpa for maintaining the amorphous phase. SEM andTEM observations shows the interfacial reaction layers were formed between metallic glassy phase and liquidphase. While this layer can contribute for to reinforce the fracture strength, the layer interferes withdeformation of metallic glassy powders and also interferes with squeezing of liquid phase. This study reportthe interfacial microstructure between the powder particles by TEM observations.
