Improved bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy compositions and methods of making and casting such compositions are provided. The improved bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys are preferably subjected to a superheating treatment and subsequently are cast into articles with high elastic limit. The invention allows use of lower purity raw-materials, and as such effectively reduces the overall cost of the final articles. Furthermore, the invention provides for the casting of new alloys into shapes at lower cooling rates then is possible with the conventional bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys.
