AbstractWe investigated the influence of annealing on the nanometer-scale medium-range order in Zr54Cu38Al8 bulk metallic glass using fluctuation electron microscopy. Fluctuation microscopy experiments probing structure at a length scale of 1 nm show that the as-cast Zr bulk metallic glass contains significant medium range order. That structure is unchanged by annealing at 87% of the glass transition temperature for 24 hours, although that anneal does significantly change the differential scanning calorimetry trace.

ABSTRACTThe stability of a Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 bulk metallic glass (BMG) against structural relaxation is investigated by isothermal and isochronal annealing heat treatments below and above its glass transition temperature, Tg, for varying periods. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the annealed samples shows an excess endotherm at Tg, irrespective of the annealing temperature. This recovery peak evolves exponentially with annealing time and is due to the destruction of anneal-induced compositional short range ordering. The alloy exhibits a high resistance to crystallization on annealing below Tg and complex Pd- and Ni-phosphides evolve on annealing above Tg.

Structural relaxation through isothermal annealing below the glass transition temperature was conducted on a Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10bulk metallic glass. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to quantify enthalpy differences between the as-cast and relaxed samples, which were then related to average free volume differences. The influence of structural relaxation on plasticity was examined. While the free volume decreasement can be clearly observed between the as-cast and relaxed samples, structural relaxation is not accompanied by severe embrittlement.

A hard magnetic Nd50Al15Fe15Co20 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was prepared in the shape of a rod up to 3 mm in diameter by suction casting. The glass transition and crystallization behaviors as well as their kinetic nature have been studied. In contrast to the previously reported hard magnetic Nd–Al–Fe–Co BMGs, Nd50Al15Fe15Co20 as-cast rod exhibits a distinct glass transition and multistep crystallization behaviors in the differential scanning calorimetry traces and lower coercivity. The BMG provides an ideal model for the investigation of glass transition and crystallization of hard magnetic Nd–Al–Fe–Co glass-forming alloys.
