ABSTRACTThe influence of different microstructures of La-based fully amorphous samples and its composites on the impact fracture energy were investigated and discussed. Results showed improvement in fracture energy of glassy metals with intermetallic phases, but deteriorated in the presence of dendrite phases and high volume % of crystalline phases.

Activation energies determined from Arrhenius plot for cobalt-boron liquid quenched amorphous alloys in the temperature range 40 K < T < 300 K , suggest vacancy and interstitial formation to nucleate crystalline phases in an amorphous matrix preferably at sites where dangling bonds are present. Nucleation of crystallites with preferential tetragonal or orthorhombic structures is a self-evolving process due to catalytic presence of dangling bonds in an amorphous material and that the occurrence of negative activation energies support this evidence.

ABSTRACTAmorphous and three metastable crystalline phases have been formed in the Au-Si system by 300 keV Xe ion mixing using multilayered samples with average compositions of Au2Si8, AuSi, and Au7 Si3. Generally speaking, during the different stages of irradiation at liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) or room temperature (R.T.), metastable crystalline phases are formed initially, and eventually an amorphous structure is obtained. Thermal decomposition of amorphous alloys yield different metastable crystalline phases. Some of the metastable crystalline phases can be formed directly from multilayered samples by steady-state thermal annealing. The formation mechanisms of metastable phases are discussed in terms of the processes involved in ion mixing and thermal annealing.

The crystallization behavior of melt-spun amorphous Al92−xNi8Lax (x = 4 to 6) alloys was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffractometry, and transmission electron microscopy. Crystallization kinetics were analyzed by Kissinger and Johnson–Mehl–Avrami approaches. Microhardness of all the ribbons was examined at different temperatures and correlated with the corresponding structural evolution. The results show that the variation of La content from Al88Ni8La4 to Al86Ni8La6 has significant influence on the crystallization pathways from amorphous to stable crystalline phases and on the evolution of microhardness with temperature. The two stages of crystallization in Al88Ni8La4 and Al87Ni8La5 alloys correspond to formation of fcc-Al and Al11La3, Al3Ni, Al3La. In Al86Ni8La6, three stages of crystallization are observed which correspond to formation of a metastable phase, fcc-Al, Al11La3, Al3Ni, and Al11La3, Al3Ni, Al3La, and decomposition of a metastable phases to stable crystalline phases.

AbstractThis paper reports the atom probe analysis results of the oxygen dissolved in the as-cast amorphous and crystallized Zr65Cu15Al10Pd10 and Zr65Cul17.5Ni10Al17.5 alloys. Impurity oxygen ranging from 0.1 to 1 at.% is dissolved uniformly in the as-quenched Zr65Cu15A110Pd10 and Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 amorphous alloys even though the oxygen is not added intentionally. When the Zr65Cu15Al10Pd10 alloy is crystallized, oxygen redistribution occurs; it is rejected from the primary Zr2 (Cu, Pd) crystals and partitioned in the subsequently crystallized phases. Oxygen atoms are enriched in some of the crystalline phases up to approximately 4 at.%, and virtually no oxygen is dissolved in the remaining amorphous phase. In the partially crystallized Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 alloy, fine oxygen enriched particles containing ∼ 15 at.%O have been detected in direct contacted with crystalline grains. This work demonstrates that oxygen redistribution occurs during the crystallization reaction, thereby influencing the kinetics of crystallization.

Mature human dental enamel has presented investigators with several difficulties in ultramicrotomy of specimens for electron microscopy due to its high degree of mineralization. This study explores the possibility of combining ion-milling and high voltage electron microscopy as a means of circumventing the problems of ultramicrotomy.A longitudinal section of an extracted human third molar was ground to a thickness of about 30 um and polarized light micrographs were taken. The specimen was attached to a single hole grid and thinned by argon-ion bombardment at 15° incidence while rotating at 15 rpm. The beam current in each of two guns was 50 μA with an accelerating voltage of 4 kV. A 20 nm carbon coating was evaporated onto the specimen to prevent an electron charge from building up during electron microscopy.

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.
