The amorphous alloys of Co 50 Fe 20 Cu 2 V 8 B 20 are successfully obtained by using the mechanical alloying technique. The sample is analyzed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The DSC result of the powder sample milled for 120 h shows a complete amorphous phase and a wide supercooled liquid region (Tx - Tg ≃ 80 K ).

A high-energy ball milling procedure has been developed to produce amorphous alloys in Ti50(Cu0.45Ni0.55)44−xAlxSi4B2 (x= 0, 4, 8, 12) powder mixtures. The milling products were characterized using x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. The Ti-based amorphous alloy powders prepared through this solid-state process exhibit a well-defined glass transition and a supercooled liquid region (ΔTx =64 K) close to the largest achieved so far for Ti-based undercooled melts. The substitution of Al for Cu and Ni has beneficial effects on stabilizing the supercooled liquid. Residual nanocrystals of the αTi structure are uniformly dispersed in the amorphous matrix. The composite alloy powders offer the potential for consolidation in the supercooled liquid region to bulk lightweight amorphous alloys and the possibility to attain desirable mechanical properties.

The higher mechanical strength of Al87Ce3Ni8.5Mn1.5 nanophase amorphous composites has been obtained with two methods. The first nanophase amorphous composites are directly produced by the single roller spin quenching technology. The method taken for the second nanophase amorphous composites is at first to obtain amorphous single-phase alloy, followed by annealed at different temperatures .The formative condition, the microstructure, the particle size, the volume fraction of α-Al phase and microhardness of nanophase amorphous composites etc have been investigated and compared by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The microstructure of composites produced by the second method is higher than the former, the fabricated material structure of the system is more uniform and the process is easier to control.

AbstractThe crystallization of amorphous Si in a Al/Si multilayer (with a modulation length of about 120Å) was investigated using transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. Amorphous Si was found to crystallize at about 175 °C with the heat of reaction of 11±2(kJ/mol). Al grains grow prior to the nucleation of crystalline Si. The crystalline Si was found to nucleate within the grown Al layers. The incipient crystalline Si initially grows within the Al layer and then spreads through the amorphous Si and other Al layers. Because of extensive intermixing, the original layered structure is destroyed. The Al(111) texture is also enhanced.

Ceramic Microstructure

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations were conducted on the hot-pressed Ti2SnC bulk ceramic. Microstructure features of bulk Ti2SnC ceramic were characterized by using TEM, and a needle-shaped β-Sn precipitation was observed inside Ti2SnC grains with the orientation relationship: (0001) Ti2SnC // (200) Sn and Ti2SnC // [001] Sn. With the combination of DSC and XRD analyses, the precipitation of metallic Sn was demonstrated to be a thermal stress-induced process during the cooling procedure. The reheating temperature, even as low as 400 °C, could trigger the precipitation of Sn from Ti2SnC, which indicated the low-temperature instability of Ti2SnC. A substoichiometry Ti2SnxC formed after depletion of Sn from ternary Ti2SnC phase. Under electron beam irradiation, metallic Sn was observed diffusing back into Ti2SnxC. Furthermore, a new Ti7SnC6 phase with the lattice constants of a = 0.32 and c = 4.1 nm was identified and added in the Ti-Sn-C ternary system.

AbstractThe present work reports a simple and easy wet chemistry synthesis of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanospheres at room temperature without surfactants and using different precursors. Structural characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with focused ion beam and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The optical band gaps were determined from diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photoluminescence behavior of the as-synthesized nanospheres showed significant differences depending on the precursors used. The Cu2O nanospheres were constituted by aggregates of nanocrystals, in which an on/off emission behavior of each individual nanocrystal was identified during transmission electron microscopy observations. The thermal behavior of the Cu2O nanospheres was investigated with in situ X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry experiments. Remarkable structural differences were observed for the nanospheres annealed in air, which turned into hollow spherical structures surrounded by outsized nanocrystals.

AbstractThe thermal properties of an amorphous alloy (composition in at.%: Zr-10Al-5Ti-17.9Cu-14.6Ni), and particularly the glass transition and crystallization temperature as a function of heating rate, were characterized using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). X-ray diffraction analyses and Transmission Electron Microscopy were also conducted on samples heat-treated at different temperatures for comparison with the DSC results. Superplasticity in the alloy was studied at 410°C, a temperature within the supercooled liquid region. Both single strain rate and strain rate cycling tests in tension were carried out to investigate the deformation behavior of the alloy in the supercooled liquid region. The experimental results indicated that the alloy did not behave like a Newtonian fluid.

The present paper reports the effect of partial replacement of Ni by Cu in the Al85Y8Ni5Co2 alloy. The studied alloys were produced by rapid solidification. Glass-formation, crystallization behavior, and stability of the supercooled liquid were studied by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Partial replacement of Ni by Cu in the Al85Y8Ni5Co2 metallic glass caused formation of the nanoscale α–Al particles and resulted in a decrease in the crystallization temperature and disappearance of the supercooled liquid.

ABSTRACTThe effect of Al on the crystallization behavior of (Zr0.616Ti0.087Nb0.027Cu0.15Ni0.12)100–xAlx melt-spun glassy ribbons with x = 7.5, 5, 2.5 and 0 was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The devitrification of the ribbons is characterized by the formation of a metastable quasicrystalline phase during the first stage of the crystallization process even for the alloy with x = 0. Therefore, Al is not essential for quasicrystal formation in the present alloys. However, it affects the properties of the amorphous as well as of the quasicrystalline phase. With decreasing Al content, the temperature range of stability of the quasicrystalline phase increases whereas the thermal stability of the amorphous phase decreases together with a slight decrease of the extension of the supercooled liquid region. Thus, it is concluded that although the addition of Al improves the stability of the glassy phase, it has no beneficial effect on the formation of quasicrystals.

The aim of the work was to characterize the structure of Al65Cu20Fe15 alloy obtained with the use of conventional casting and rapid solidification-melt-spinning technology. Based on the literature data, the possibility of an icosahedral quasicrystalline phase forming in the Al-Cu-Fe was verified. Structure analysis was performed based on the results of X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, 57Fe Mössbauer and transmission electron microscopy. Studies using differential scanning calorimetry were carried out to describe the crystallization mechanism. Additionally, electrochemical tests were performed in order to characterize the influence of the structure and cooling rate on the corrosion resistance. On the basis of the structural studies, the formation of a metastable icosahedral phase and partial amorphous state of ribbon structure were demonstrated. The possibility of the formation of icosahedral quasicrystalline phase I-AlCuFe together with the crystalline phases was indicated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), neutron diffraction (ND) patterns, Mössbauer spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves. The beneficial effect of the application of rapid solidification on the corrosive properties was also confirmed.
