Melt Spinning Technique

ABSTRACTUsing a novel melt-spinning technique, we have produced highly disordered NdBa2Cu3O7−x and GdBa2Cu3Oy−x materials. Samples which were melt-spun in an O2 environment consist of nanocrystals with the tetragonal REBa2Cu3O7−x structure: samples which were processed in an N2 environment consist of an amorphous matrix with small amounts of crystalline BaCu2O2, as shown by x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. High temperature XRD studies indicate that the BaCu2O2 is eliminated during heating to 500°C in O2 and that the REBa2Cu3O7−x Phase recrystallizes directly from the amorphous matrix at temperatures below 800°C. Preliminary magnetization measurements show that higher temperature heat treatments are needed to restore superconductivity.

In the present work X-ray studies were performed on annealed Fe78Nb2B20 amorphous alloy prepared by melt-spinning technique. All the samples were annealed in vacuum for 1 hour at temperatures up to 800°C. For the studied alloy -Fe and Fe2B are the stable, crystalline phases. The -Fe crystallized as the first crystalline phase in the sample annealed at 350°C. On the other hand, metastable Fe3B phase appeared to be stable during annealing in 425-800°C temperature range. The best fitting of the experimental X-ray data to as jet available ICDD files was obtained for Ni3P type structure (39-1315 – S.G.: I (82)). New, experimental powder diffraction data for metastable Fe3B phase prepared according to ICDD standards were elaborated for the sample annealed at 600°C. For this sample the best agreement between the calculated values of lattice constants and positions of experimental diffraction lines was obtained. The X-ray data were collected using X-Pert Philips diffractometer equipped with curved graphite monochromator on diffracted beam. The Treor program was applied for the analysis of X-ray diffraction data.

Property Changes

The structural transformations and magnetic property changes of the Nd16.2FebalCo9.9Ga0.5B7.5 (SG1, SG2) and Nd15.0FebalGa2.0B7.3 (SG3) nanocomposite alloys obtained by melt spinning in the as-quenched state and after annealing at a temperature range of 560–650 °C for 30 min were studied. The methods used were X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic property measurements, TEM studies, X-ray fluorescence analysis and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Amorphous phase and crystalline phase Nd2Fe14B (P42/mnm) were observed in the alloy after melt spinning. The content of the amorphous phase ranged from 20% to 50% and depended on the cooling rate. Annealing of the alloys resulted in amorphous phase crystallization into Nd2Fe14B and led to the increased coercivity of the alloys up to 1840 kA/m (23.1 kOe) at 600 °C annealing for 30 min. The alloy with the maximum coercivity had a grain size of the Nd2Fe14B phase ≈50–70 nm with an Nd-rich phase between grains.

The oxidation behavior of melt-spun Zr75Pd25 and Zr80Pt20 alloys with nanoquasicrystalline phase embedded in amorphous matrix has been studied isothermally as well as nonisothermally in static air. The nature of oxides formed during oxidation has been studied by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, and a transition in the structure of the oxides has been shown as one of the primary reasons for the difference in the oxidation behavior of the alloys.

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.

ABSTRACTHigh purity, splat-quenched metal ribbons, produced by the melt spinning technique, were examined for preferred orientation using x-ray diffraction. Of the materials tested (Zn, Cd, Ag, Bi, Pb, Sb, Mg, Sn) all except Sn exhibited some degree of preferred orientation in the plane of the metal ribbon. the hcp metals Zn and Cd showed an extreme degree of preferred orientation with the 002 plane being closely parallel to the ribbon plane. The Zn ribbon was analysed more closely with a view to its use as a crystal monochromator for x-ray diffraction. The high purity Zn was found to have some instability of preferred orientation with increase in time and temperature. The orientation was found to be effectively stabilized by the intentional addition of impurities, or by the use of lower purity (99.99%) Zn. In this form, the Zn ribbon could be used as a crystal analyser for x-ray diffraction with both intensity and resolution comparable to that of the 1011 plane in Quartz.

Nanocrystalline Ribbon

Fe86.5Zr7B3Cu3.5 nanocrystalline ribbon can be directly fabricated by melt – spinning technique with an appropriate quenching speed without annealing processes. The average grain size of α-Fe for Fe86.5Zr7B3Cu3.5 as quenched ribbon prepared with a quenched speed V=40 m/s is about 10-13 nm estimated from X-ray diffraction and TEM observation. For Fe86.5Zr7B3Cu3.5 nanocrystalline as quenched ribbon (V=40m/s), the saturation magnetic induction Bs is 1.47 T, permeability μe at 1 kHz is 25600 and saturation magnetostriction λs is -2×10-6. The magnetoimpedance value Z/Z0 of the Fe86.5Zr7B3Cu3.5 nanocrystalline as quenched ribbon reaches –38.32 % under H=7162 A/m. Our present results reveal a novel route to fabricate the nanocrystaline ribbons with excellent soft magnetic properties and giant magnetoimpedance.

ABSTRACTMelt-spun Zr64Al7Cu17Ni10Fe2 amorphous ribbons were milled under nitrogen atmosphere for different times. The resulting nitrided powders were studied by x-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The formation of nanosized crystalline particles, with cubic δ-ZrN structure, dispersed in the amorphous matrix was observed along with a change in the composition of the amorphous phase. Prolonged milling leads to the additional precipitation of late transition metals (Fe,Ni,Cu). The nitride particles affect the crystallization behavior and modify the thermal stability of the amorphous alloy.

Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hexanoate) (PHBH) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester with the potential to be used in textile and medical applications. We have aimed at developing an upscalable melt-spinning method to produce fine biodegradable PHBH filaments without the use of an ice water bath or offline drawing techniques. We have evaluated the effect of different polymer grades (mol% 3-hydroxy hexanoate, molecular weight etc.) and production parameters on the tensile properties of melt-spun filaments. PHBH monofilaments (diameter < 130 µm) have been successfully melt-spun and online drawn from three different polymer grades. We report thermal and rheological properties of the polymer grades as well as morphological, thermal, mechanical, and structural properties of the melt-spun filaments thereof. Tensile strengths up to 291 MPa have been achieved. Differences in tensile performance have been correlated to structural differences with wide-angle X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering. The measurements obtained have revealed that a synergetic interaction of a highly oriented non-crystalline mesophase with highly oriented α-crystals leads to increased tensile strength. Additionally, the effect of aging on the structure and tensile performance has been investigated.

The effect of heat treatment on the corrosion behavior of seven amorphous melt-spun Mg–Ni–Nd alloys containing 10–20 at.% Ni and 5–15 at.% Nd has been studied. Hydrogen evolution testing was used to determine the dissolution rate of the heat-treated specimens immersed in a 3% NaCl solution saturated with Mg(OH)2. The dissolution rates of the partially crystallized specimens were found to be lower than those of the untreated specimens, while the fully crystallized specimens exhibited marked deterioration of corrosion resistance. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies on the heat-treated specimens revealed precipitation of Mg3Nd, Mg12Nd, and Mg2Ni phases during the crystallization. TEM results show that the partially crystallized structure consists of uniform dispersion of either Mg3Nd or Mg2Ni in the amorphous matrix. In contrast, multiple phases precipitate in the fully crystallized specimen.
