AbstractThe crystallization behavior has been studied in Zr62Al8Ni13Cu17metallic glass alloy. The Zr62Al8Ni13Cu17metallic glass crystallized through two steps. The fcc Zr2Ni phase transformed from the amorphous matrix during first crystallization and then the Zr2Ni and residual amorphous matrix transformed into a mixture of tetragonal Zr2Cu and hexagonal Zr6Al2Ni phases. Johnson-Mehl-Avrami analysis of isothermal transformation data suggested that the formation of crystalline phase is primary crystallization by diffusion-controlled growth.

TEM investigations on crystallization behavior of a Fe 68 C 10.5 Si 4.4 B 6.5 P 8.6 Al 2 bulk metallic glass reveals that the nano-scale fcc Fe phase formed by primary crystallization is homogeneously embedded in the amorphous matrix after heat treatment at 783 K for 30 min. With increasing heat treatment time (783 K for 45 min), a tetragonal Fe 3( C , B , P ) phase encapsulates the primary fcc Fe phase suppressing the growth of the fcc Fe phase. The Fe 3( C , B , P ) phase decomposes into a mixture of orthorhombic Fe 3( C , P ) and tetragonal Fe 3( B , P ) upon further annealing treatment at 783K.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to investigate phase formation and growth kinetics in thin film Cu/a-Ge difflusion couples (150 nm Cu / 150 nm Ge) by means of cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. During annealing in the temperature range between 100 and 180°C a highly supersaturated ζ-phase was formed first; the growth of this phase exhibits a parabolic dependence, thus indicating diffusion controlled growth; further annealing leads to a transformation into the orthorhombic ε1-phase. The first phase formed during the contact reaction probably depends on the texture and orientation of the copper layer with (111) Cu favouring the formation of the ζ-phase. When in contact with crystalline Ge the orthorhombic ε1-phase is formed directly, probably caused by a lack of driving force for the formation of the ζ-phase.Crystallization of Cu-contaminated amorphous Ge is characterized by the formation of an extremely fine-grained microstructure; higher Cu contents lead to primary crystallization of the ε1-phase (orthorhombic Cu3Ge) followed by polymorphous crystallization of the amorphous matrix into crystalline Ge. These results indicate that the early formation of a crystalline interlayer is not due to the reduced crystallization temperature of an amorphous Ge(Cu) film as formed by Cu diffusion into the amorphous Ge.

In this work, the isochronal and isothermal activation energies for the primary crystallization process of Ti40Zr10Cu34Pd14Sn2bulk metallic glass have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and determined using the Kissinger approach and the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami analysis, respectively. The activation energy for crystallization evaluated by the Kissinger method is 253 kJ/mol. Similar activation energy for crystallization was obtained from the viscosity measurements. The values of the differential Avrami exponent are also determined from the isothermal data. Assuming diffusion-controlled growth, it is shown that thermal treatment of the samples in the supercooled liquid region considerably influences the behavior of the nucleation rate during the crystallization process.

The addition of Ti, Nb, or Ta altered the crystallization behavior of the Zr65Al7.5Cu27.5 glass, and a metastable nanoscaled I-phase was obtained on primary crystallization of these quaternary glasses. The complete substitution of Al by Nb also led to the precipitation of I-phase upon crystallization. Negative heats of mixing between the addition metals and the transition metals of the mother alloy were demonstrated to be not a necessary condition for I-phase formation in the present alloy system.

The influence of pressure on the crystallization behavior in SiO2f/SiO2 composites hotpressed at 1350°C was studied. The crystalline phase composition analysis on SiO2f/SiO2 composites revealed that the formation of cristobalite was promoted when the hot-pressing pressure ≤ 12 MPa, however suppressed with higher pressure applied. It can be ascribed to the nucleation mechanism change from surface nucleation to bulk nucleation. Analysis on relative density as well as fracture microstructure of SiO2f/SiO2 composites confirmed the conclusion.

ABSTRACTThermal Mechanical analysis (TMA) has been used to study the crystallization behavior of poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and its blends with poly (ether imide) (PEI). The two crystallization stages of PEEK are clearly distinguished by measuring the variation of film thickness with time during isothermal crystallization. Upon blending with PEI, the distinction of the two PEEK crystallization stages becomes obscure. This is attributed to the depressions in both nucleation density and spherulite growth rate upon blending with PEI.An Avrami analysis, Modified by considering both primary and secondary crystallization, is used to extract the respective kinetic behavior of these two crystallization stages. The results indicate that the secondary crystallization proceeded slower than the primary crystallization in the diffusion-controlled crystallization region. On the other hand, these two crystallization stages proceeded at comparable rate in the thermodynamically-controlled crystallization region. It is also found in the diffusion-controlled crystallization that blending with PEI induced a larger depression in the secondary crystallization rate than in the primary crystallization rate. Explanations for these observations are proposed and discussed.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure developed in primary crystallizations is studied under realistic conditions. The primary crystallization of an amorphous alloy is modeled by considering the thermodynamics of a metastable phase transition and the kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth under isothermal annealing. A realistic growth rate, including an interface controlled growth at the beginning of the growth of each single grain and diffusion controlled growth process with soft impingement afterwards is considered. The reduction in the nucleation rate due to the compositional change in the remaining amorphous matrix is also taken into account. The microstructures developed during the transformation are obtained by using the Populational KJMA method, from the above thermodynamic and kinetic factors. Experimental data of transformed fraction, grain density, average grain size, grain size distribution and other related parameters obtained from annealed metallic glasses are modeled.
