A metallic glass coating material is composed of an alloy of Fe, B, and one of the metals Nb, Mo, Zr, or W. The ratios of Fe, B, and the metal are predetermined using machine learning predictions and high-throughput experiments. In one example, the material is an alloy of Fe, Nb, Mo and B, of the form Fe.sub.x(Nb, Mo).sub.yB.sub.z, where x is in the range 18-28, y is in the range 35-45, and z is in the range 32-42. In another example, the material may be the alloy Fe.sub.23(Nb, Mo).sub.40B.sub.37. The alloy may be doped with Zr and/or W, where the Zr and/or W comprises at most 10% of the alloy.

The present invention relates to an amorphous alloy having low frictional resistance and capable of improving abrasion resistance, a target made of the amorphous alloy, and a compressor comprising a layer of the amorphous alloy as a coating layer. According to the present invention, it is possible to secure high hardness and a low elastic modulus of the coating layer by controlling a microstructure having an amorphous phase as a primary phase by using Ti-based three-component to five-component amorphous alloys. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coating layer from being peeled off from a matrix or destroyed, and thus it is possible to achieve the effect of improving reliability or durability of a mechanical apparatus such as a compressor.
