Abstract

A honeycomb structure and a method of forming an iron based glass forming honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure may include at least two sheets, each having a thickness in the range of 0.01 mm to 0.15 mm, formed from an iron based glass forming alloy comprising 40 to 68 atomic percent iron, 13 to 17 atomic percent nickel, 2 to 21 atomic percent cobalt, 12 to 19 atomic percent boron, optionally 0.1 to 6 atomic percent carbon, optionally 0.3 to 4 atomic percent silicon, optionally 1 to 20 percent chromium. The sheets may be stacked, bonded together and formed into a honeycomb. The honeycomb structure may include a plurality of cells.
