In the current study, the amorphization behavior of mechanically alloyed Ni57Zr20Ti22Pb1 powder was examined in details. The conventional X-ray diffraction results confirm that the fully amorphous powders formed after 5 hours of milling. The thermal stability of the Ni57Zr20Ti22Pb1 amorphous powders was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). As the results demonstrated, the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the crystallization temperature (Tx) are 760 K and 850 K, respectively. The supercooled liquid region is 90 K. The appearance of wide supercooled liquid region may be mainly due to the Pb additions which cause the increasing differences in atomic size of mechanically alloyed Ni57Zr20Ti22Pb1 powders.

AbstractGlass-forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability of Fe62Nb8B30, Fe62Nb6Zr2B30 and Fe72Zr8B20 at % amorphous alloys were investigated by calorimetric (DSC and DTA) measurements. The crystallization kinetics was studied by DSC in the mode of continuous versus linear heating and it was found that both the glass transition temperature, Tg, and the crystallization peak temperature, Tp, display strong dependence on the heating rate. The partial replacement of Nb by Zr leads to lower Tg and Tx temperatures and causes a decrease of the supercooled liquid region. JMA analysis of isothermal transformation data measured between Tg and Tx suggests that the crystallization of the Fe62Nb8B30 and Fe62Nb6Zr2B30 amorphous alloys take place by three-dimensional growth with constant nucleation rate. Nb enhances the precipitation of the metastable Fe23B6 phase and stabilizes it up to the third crystallization stage. Zr addition increases the lattice constant of Fe23B6 and, at the same time, decreases the grain size.

Alloying elements play an important role in adjusting the magnetic and thermal properties of Fe-based amorphous alloys. In this work, the effect of Mo addition on the thermal stability, structural evolution, and magnetic properties of Fe76Si9B10P5 metallic glass was studied. The study revealed that the substitution of a small amount of Mo (1 at.%) for Si enhances the glass-forming ability (GFA) but reduces the thermal stability of the alloy, causing a reduction of the supercooled liquid region. Substitution of up to 3 at.% Mo for Si lowers the Curie temperature from 677 to 550 K and the saturation magnetization drops from 160 to 138 Am2/kg. The structural evolution was evaluated by annealing the glassy samples at different temperatures, revealing that the crystallization proceeds in multiple steps, beginning with the formation of different iron borides (FeB, Fe2B, FeB2 and Fe23B6) followed by transformation to a mixture of more stable phases.

AbstractIn the present work we have intentionally introduced significant amount of oxygen to Zr- based alloys. Samples were prepared either by high energy ball milling of the elemental powders and single phase α-ZrO0.43 at the appropriate stoichiometry, or by melting in an Zr-gettered arc melting facility, in both cases under purified argon atmosphere. The effect of small amounts of oxygen (∼1 at. %) on the amorphization process and the thermal stability of mechanically alloyed Zr54Cu19Ni8Al8Si5Ti5O1 powders and arc melted bulk samples was studied by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the introduction of oxygen to the alloy composition does not inhibit the amorphization but enhances greatly the thermal stability of the mechanically alloyed amorphous powders. Compared to samples without oxygen prepared either by arc melting or mechanical alloying, samples with oxygen show an increase of the supercooled liquid region from ΔTx−g=Tx−Tg=117 °C to 141 °C where Tx is the crystallization and Tg the glass transition temperature. The glass transition for the mechanically alloyed samples (Tgma) remains unaffected at 336 °C.

The thermal stability of the Ni57Zr20Ti22Ge1 amorphous powders was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). As the results demonstrated, the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the crystallization temperature (Tx) are 761 K and 839 K, respectively. The supercooled liquid region ΔT is 78 K. The appearance of wide supercooled liquid region may be mainly due to the Ge additions which cause the increasing differences in atomic size of mechanically alloyed Ni57Zr20Ti22Ge1 powders.

A new kind of composite with a bi -continuous structure was produced by pressure infiltrating melt Zr 41.2 Ti 13.8 Cu 12.5 Ni 10 Be 22.5 into porous SiC which was made by powder metallurgy. Microstructure investigations of the composite show that the melt alloy was fully infiltrated into the voids of porous SiC and quenched into amorphous state. Both the amorphous alloy and the porous SiC exhibit a three-dimensional interconnected net structure. The study of thermal properties reveals that the addition of porous SiC reduces the width of supercooled liquid region of the composite. The bi -continuous composite presents 2% plastic strain and ultimate strength of 1250MPa.

In this paper, we report a Fe-based nanocrystalline-amorphous matrix composite synthesised via partially crystallising an amorphous alloy. The microstructure of the composite was characterize. An amorphous rod of 2mm in diameter was initially prepared via injecting the melted Fe36Co36B20Si4Nb4 alloy into a copper mould in vacuum, which was confirmed to be completely amorphous by X-ray difraction(XRD). Differential scanning calorimeteric(DSC)curve shown that the span △Tx of the supercooled liquid region and the reduced glass transition temperature(Tg/Tm)for the amorphous alloy are 40 K and 0.615, respectively. The composite composed of nanocrystalline particles homogeneously dispersed in an amorphous matrix was prepared by isothermal annealing. In this course, the amorphous Fe-based sample was held for different time at different temperature. The types of the nanocrystalline phases obtained in different annealing conditions were characterised by XRD and selected-area diffraction pattern(SAED).The crystallization behavior of the amorphous Fe-based alloy was discussed.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with high thermal stability and good corrosion resistance were synthesized in the (Cu0.6Hf0.25Ti0.15)100−x−yNiyNbx system by copper mold casting. The addition of Ni element causes an extension of a supercooled liquid region (ΔTx = Tx – Tg) from 60 K for Cu60Hf25Ti15 to 70 K for (Cu0.6Hf0.25Ti0.15)95Ni5. The simultaneous addition of Ni and Nb to the alloy is effective in improving synergistically the corrosion resistance in 1 N HCl, 3 mass% NaCl, and 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl solutions. The highly protective Hf-, Ti-, and Nb-enriched surface film is formed by the rapid initial preferential dissolution of Cu and Ni, which is responsible for the high corrosion resistance of the alloys in the solutions examined.
