Abstract The study of the effect of electropulse treatment with a variable duration on the crystallization processes and the structure of a amorphous TiNiCu alloy with 25 at.% Cu in comparison with isothermal annealing and heating at a constant speed was carried out. The alloy was fabricated by rapid-quenching from the liquid state (melt spinning technique) at the cooling rate of the melt of about 106 °C/s in the form of a ribbon with a thickness of 28 μm with a surface crystal layer with a thickness of about 2-3 μm. To remove the crystal layer, the method of double-sided electrochemical polishing was used. The studies were carried out by methods of differential scanning calorimetry, metallography and scanning electron microscopy. It was established that the formation of the crystalline phase in the electropulse treatment of the amorphous ribbon occurs from the surface to the inner part due to the predominant formation and growth of columnar crystals with subsequent nucleation and growth of crystals in the rest of the ribbon.

AbstractThe phase formation of a Zr57Ti8Nb2.5Cu13.9Ni11.1Al7.5alloy has been investigated upon cooling from the melt at different quenching rates as well as upon annealing of as-cast specimens. The different samples are characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Rapid quenching using the melt spinning technique results in amorphization. Slower cooling as realized upon copper mold casting leads to an icosaheadral quasicrystalline phase coexisting with a small amount of amorphous phase. The primarily formed quasicrystals have a grain size of about 1 νm. Upon annealing, the amorphous phase formed upon melt spinning precipitates quasicrystals in the first step of a series of transformations to the crystalline equilibrium compounds. The quasicrystals formed by annealing do not exceed a size of 5 to 10 nm.

Effect of copper addition in a Metallic glass 2714A on the nanocrystallization characteristics have been examined in this study. Amorphous ribbon of the alloy composition Co64.5 Fe3.5 Si16.5 B13.5 Ni1Cu1 were prepared by melt spinning technique. Nanocrystallization kinetics was studied using differential scanning calorimeter technique. The kinetic parameters such as activation energy and Avrami exponent were determined using two different non-isothermal analysis methods. The kinetic behavior of individual crystallization event has been rationalized on the basis of these results. The role of addition of copper on the crystallization behavior has been understood by comparing with Metallic glass 2714A. The isothermally annealed nanocrystallized microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Co64Fe4Si14.5B14.5amorphous ribbon was fabricated by the melt-spinning technique. Soft magnetic properties of the ribbon were improved by annealing at 623K for 1 hour with a zero magnetic field, a 50mT longitudinal or transverse external magnetic field comparing with the as-quenched ribbon. The longitudinally driven giant magneto-impedance (LDGMI) effect and its field sensitivity (ξ) have been investigated in the frequency (f) range of 1kHz~1MHz. It is found that at f=51kHz, the LDGMI effect and ξ reach the largest values for the sample annealed with a longitudinal magnetic field.

ABSTRACTA new melt-spinning technique (field quenching) for ferromagnetic amorphous ribbon is suggested to produce better magnetic properties than conventional as-quenched amorphous ribbon. An external field is applied during the quenching either parallel or perpendicular to the casting direction. The magnetic moment and initial permeability are increased when the field direction is parallel to the casting direction. These effects are opposite when these two directions mentioned are perpendicular to each other.

Recently we reported on the development of a composite material exhibiting reversible shape memory effect. A Ti–25Ni–25Cu (at.%) alloy was obtained by the melt spinning technique as amorphous–crystalline ribbons with a thickness of approximately 40 μm. The thickness of the amorphous and crystalline layers (dа and dc, respectively) was varied by electrochemical polishing. It has been ascertained that with varying the relationship dc/dа the martensite transformation and shape-recovery temperatures do not actually change, while the minimum radius of the ribbon bending decreases from 8.0 mm to 2.4 mm with increasing the relationship dc/dа from 0.33 to 1.40. The maximum reversible strain comprises 0.4% at dc/dа = 0.82. On the basis of experimental data obtained the phenomenological description, providing an explanation for nature of the phenomena taking place in the rapidly quenched amorphous-crystalline ribbon composite, has been proposed.

The goal of this paper is to present the influence of temperature variation and iron substitution with Co on the structure and electrical properties of amorphous Fe75-xCoxCr1B7Si17 alloys (where x=1, 4, 7, and 10 at.%), obtained by melt-spinning technique. The electrical resistivity of the samples was measured by using a usual four-probe method from -160°C to 750°C. The electrical resistivity was also measured at room temperature for the amorphous Fe75-xCoxCr1B7Si17 ribbons annealed at various temperatures for different holding time. The annealed samples were also investigated by Vickers microhardness test. The amorphous structure of tested materials was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mossbauer spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Experimental results confirmed the utility of applied investigation methods and the influence of the Co content and annealing process on the crystallization, structure and electrical properties of examined amorphous alloys.

Abstract The main objective of this work was to investigate the effect of different cellulose (CEL) content and the draw ratio on the thermal and mechanical properties of drawn polypropylene (PP) fibres. The modification of PP fibres during their production can helps to prepare PP fibres with improved properties, guarantees new opportunities for the expansion of an assortment of PP fibres in the clothing and domestic textile industries. The modified PP/CEL fibres were prepared from PP pellets and PP/cellulose masterbatch via the melt spinning technique at 260 °C followed by drawing for various draw ratios in the company Chemosvit, Fibrochem a. s. (Svit, Slovakia). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to evaluate the thermal properties of PP fibres. The mechanical properties (tenacity and elongation at break and modulus of elasticity) and low cycle loading of modified PP fibres were also studied. The obtained experimental results of drawn PP/CEL fibres were compared with neat PP fibre prepared under the same technological conditions. Cellulose had a minimal effect on the melting temperatures of fibres and increased of the PP crystallization temperatures in comparison with the neat drawn PP fibre. The limited decrease of mechanical properties of prepared fibres were observed, but the decreases do not influence on the fibres commercial use.

ABSTRACTRibbons of the Ni-44.8wt%Ti shape memory alloy are prepared through the melt spinning technique. The study is focused on investigating the effect of the rapid solidification and grain size at characteristic start martensitic (Ms), final martensitic (Mf), start austenite (As) and final austenite (Af) transformation temperatures. Changes on martensitic transformation temperatures in Ti45Ni55 melt spun ribbons are observed as grain size is reduced. Results of optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are used to associate grain size with transformation temperatures.

A new Ti-based amorphous alloy Ti35Zr21Cu40Si4 with about 80 μm thickness and 5~8 mm width was fabricated by melt spinning method. The phase structure and thermal stabilities of the Ti35Zr21Cu40Si4 amorphous alloy were investigated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The Ti35Zr21Cu40Si4 amorphous alloy was cultivated in the simulate body fluid (SBF) for 15 days. And the blood compatibility was evaluated by dynamic clotting time and hemolysis rate test. The Ti35Zr21Cu40Si4 alloy exhibits fully amorphous phase and high thermal stability with a supercooled liquid region (ΔTx) of 80K. The Ca phosphates depositions on alloy surfaces were gained after 15 days. Moreover, n (Ca)/n (P) atom ratio of the deposition is about 1.65/1, which approaches to that of human bone 1.66/1, suggesting that the Ti35Zr21Cu40Si4 amorphous alloy is with an excellent biocompatibility. The Ti35Zr21Cu40Si4 amorphous ribbon has lower hemolysis ratio of 0.562%, which can reduce wrecking degree of erythrocytes, compared with medical standards of the hemolysis rate (less than 5%). These are favorable for application to biomaterials.

Tin-bismuth alloy ribbons were produced using melt-spinning technique. The two main surfaces (in contact with the rotating wheel and exposed to the air) were characterized with Optical Microscopy and AFM, revealing that the surface exposed to the air is duller (due to a long-range heterogeneity) than the opposite surface. Also the XPS chemical composition revealed many differences between them both on the corrosion extension and on the total relative amounts of tin and bismuth. For instance, for the specific case of an alloy with a composition Bi-4 wt % Sn, the XPS atomic ratios Sn/Bi are 1.1 and 3.7 for the surface in contact with the rotating wheel and for the one exposed to air, respectively, showing, additionally, that a large segregation of tin at the surface exists (nominal ratio should be 0.073). This segregation was interpreted as the result of the electrochemical process yielding the corrosion products.
