ABSTRACTWe have compared the formation of amorphous alloys from Ni-Hf multilayer films by ion mixing and solid state diffusion. We find that ion mixing and solid state reaction produce significant differences in the composition range of the amorphous phase inside the mixed samples. Moreover, the thermochemical parameters which are of primary importance for the solid state reaction also influence the behavior of the Ni-Hf system under ion mixing.

ABSTRACTWe report, in this paper, three different ways of producing amorphous alloys in the Al-Yb system, (i) Al80Yb20multilayered films were readily amorphized by 180 keV xenon ion mixing at room temperature(RT) to a dose of 3×1015 Xe/cm2. (ii) When the dose went up to 1×1016 Xe/cm2 or higher, a metastable phase of hcp structure was formed. Interestingly, the hcp phase turned into amorphous after annealing at 500°C for about 10 minutes. (iii) Amorphous alloys were also formed by steady state thermal annealing of the Al-Yb multilayered films at about 450 °C for 20 minutes. The optimum amorphization range was found out by experiments to be 17 to 30 Yb at%, i.e., within this composition range, the multilayered films could entirely be amorphized by solid state reaction.The recrystallization behavior of the amorphous alloys formed by different methods was also studied and the difference in this aspect was thought to relate to the structures resulting from different processing methods.Possible explanation of the observed sequence of phase transition is also discussed.

The effect of shock compression on the solid-state chemical reactivity of titanium and carbon powder mixtures was investigated with the objective of forming net-shaped TiC ceramics with a fine-grain microstructure. The combination of defect states and intimate interparticle contacts introduced during shock compression results in significant enhancement of the otherwise sluggish solid-state diffusion of Ti and C through the TiCx boundary layer. The apparent activation energy for TiCx formation was determined using solid-state reaction kinetics models, and was found to be reduced by four-to-six times that of diffusion of Ti into TiCx and two-to-three times that of diffusion of C in TiCx. As a result, net-shaped sections of shock-densified compacts (˜85% dense) were reaction synthesized via solid-state diffusion, producing microstructures with grain size <6 μm and microhardness of ˜2000 kg/mm2, in contrast to statically pressed powder compacts which reacted by a combustion process resulting in a highly porous product.

The joining of a Ti3SiC2 ceramic with a Ti–6Al–4V alloy was carried out at the temperature range of 1200–1400 °C for 15 min to 4 h in a vacuum. The total diffusion path of joining was determined to be Ti3SiC2/Ti5Si3Cx/Ti5Si3Cx + TiCx/TiCx/Ti. The reaction was rate controlled by the solid-state diffusion below 1350 °C and turned to the liquid-state diffusion controlled with a dramatic increase of parabolic rate constant Kp when the temperature exceeded 1350 °C. The TiCx tended to grow at the boundarywith the Ti–6Al–4V alloy at a higher temperature and longer holding time. TheTi3SiC2/Ti–6Al–4V joint is expected to be applied to implant materials.
