Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An alloy design approach to modify and improve existing iron based glasses. The modification is related to increasing the stability of the glass which , results in increased crystallization temperature and increasing the reduced , crystallization temperature (Tcrystaiiization/Tmelting) which leads to a , critical cooling rate for metallic glass formation. The modification to the iron alloys includes the addition of lanthanide elements including , gadolinium. The resulting properties of such a modified alloy are compared to those of an unmodified alloy in Figure 1.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 13, 2004 and granted January 28, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 13, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 13, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
