ABSTRACTDifferential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Neutron Diffraction (ND) and Mössbauer Spectroscopy (MS) were used to study the nanocrystallization process of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si22.5–xBx (x=5, 7, 8, 9 and 12) amorphous alloys. Both the temperature range and the activation energy of Fe(Si) phase precipitation from the amorphous martrix increase with the initial B composition. The initial Si composition influences the mechanism of the nanocrystallization: for the Si rich samples, the beginning of nucleation and growth processes is interface controlled, for the B rich samples it is diffusion controlled. Secondary crystallization from the remaining amorphous is mainly Fe3B and Fe2B, the ratio of Fe3B/Fe2B being dependent on the initial composition too.

Microstructural Examination

AbstractSeveral samples of consolidated amorphous alloys have been studied by using High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Microdiffraction (MD), and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (EDXD). The phenomenon of plastic deformation at consolidated particulate interfaces has been examined. Two simultaneous processes have been identified occurring at these boundaries, namely, accelerated nucleation and growth of the deformed zone and the the formation of dislocation microstructures (dislocation networks). It has been observed that both type and the density of microstructures depend on the mode of consolidation. Post consolidation processing, annealing, affects density and the directional distribution of defects in the plastic zone. Microstructural examination of the consolidated mass has revealed two major factors important in the strengthening mechanism: (1) presence of a plastically deformed and pressureinduced nucleated zone; (2) presence of a system of dislocation networks in the compacted particulates. Based on these observations, it has been concluded that the stored strain energies in the plastically deformed zones provides the necessary activation energy for dislocation motions from one particulate to the next. These observations have been employed in developing a quasi-quantative model to explain the strengthening mechanism in consolidated amorphous alloys.

ABSTRACTThe evolution of the B2-AlFe phase during mechanical grinding in Ar has been examined as a function of milling time by X-Ray diffraction, transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Short and long range disorder was observed to increase with the mechanical treatment up to the attainment of a steady state. The evolution of the long range order parameter and of the local atomic configurations at Fe sites were analyzed in terms of possible mechanisms for milling induced disordering. The kinetics of the thermal reordering was studied under continuous heating and isothermal calorimetrie regimes. Modeling of the reordering processes by diffusion controlled growth of pre-existing ordered grains is presented as well as the estimated values of both the enthalpy and the activation energy of the reordering process. The results are consistent with a non uniform distribution of disorder throughout the sample and will be compared with preceding information on related systems.

Crystallization of the amorphous metallic alloy Fe73.5 Cu1Nb3 Si8.5 B14 was investigated by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), small angle in situ X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Only one crystalline phase was observed by WAXS and only one peak was observed by DSC. The activation energies, calculated from FMR and DSC data, were 287 kJ.mol-1 and 313.4 kJ.mol-1, respectively. The values calculated for the Avrami exponent were 0.98 (FMR) and 1.4 (DSC). These values correspond to different mechanisms of nucleation and growth; however, the SAXS /WAXS results suggest that the dominant mechanisms are nucleation and growth of crystals from small dimensions.

AbstractDifferential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction analysis were utilized to monitor solid state reactions in mechanically deformed Ni/Ti multilayered composites. Solid state reactions at temperatures less than = 650 K result in the formation of a highly disordered phase which is apparently amorphous.The subsequent nucleation and growth at higher temperatures of intermetallic compounds from the amorphous phase is examined. The relatively small thickness of amorphous material (less than 100 Å) which can be grown by solid state reaction in our Ni/Ti samples, combined with the indication that a disordered interface such as that produced by mechanical deformation facilitates these reactions in the Ni-Ti system, may provide some explanation for the relatively high degree of success experienced in the production of amorphous Ni- Ti by means of ball milling. Comparisons are made to results obtained in the Ni-Zr system.

ABSTRACTThe effect of different Si contents on the glass forming ability (GFA) and the amorphous-to-crystalline transformation has been investigated for the Mg-Cu-Y-Si system. Four Mg60Cu30-yY10Siy (y = 1–5 at.%) alloys were prepared using a relatively simple technique of rapid cooling of the melt in a copper mould. Crystallization was induced by heat treatment of the alloys and the samples were then characterized concerning their microstructure and thermal stability by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at a constant heating rate. Partial substitution of Cu by Si leads to a transition of the as-cast structure at a constant cooling rate from amorphous to crystalline with increasing Si content. Furthermore, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the Mg-Cu-Y-Si alloy is lower compared to the Mg-Cu-Y system. The mechanical properties of the bulk Mg-Cu-Y-Si alloys have been investigated and found to vary with the Si content.

The thermal stability and crystallization of the Fe82Nb2B14RE2 (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy) amorphous alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) method. By X-ray diffraction (XRD) method has been established that the initial AMA have amorphous structure. The RE alloying of Fe82Nb2B14RE2 amorphous alloys increase the nanocrystallization temperatures for ~ 110 K and activation energies of crystallization for ~ 330 kJ/mol. The Avrami constant was found to be 1.86 for Fe84Nb2B14 at 703 K, 1.17 for Fe82Nb2B14Y2 at 813 K, 1.36 for Fe82Nb2B14Gd2 at 808 K, 1.76 for Fe82Nb2B14Tb2 at 808 K and 1.92 for Fe82Nb2B14Dy2  at 808 K. Two-dimensional diffusion controlled growth mechanism with decreasing nucleation rate was observed in the alloys.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the results of crystallization studies for the bulk amorphous (Fe0.61Co0.10Zr0.025Hf0.025 Ti0.02W0.02B0.20)98Y2, Fe61Co10TixY6B20, Fe61Co10Ti2Y7B20 alloys. The crystallization of the alloys was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The amorphicity of the investigated alloys in the as-quenched state was testified using Mossbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, X-ray diffractometry was applied to structure investigations of partially crystallized samples. The crystallization process in the investigated alloys occurs in one or two stages. Two peaks in the DSC curves can be overlapped or well separated indicating the complex crystallization processes. From X-ray diffraction we have stated that in both types of devitrification the crystalline phase can be ascribed to the α-FeCo. In the first stage the crystalline grains seem to grow from the nuclei frozen in the samples during the rapid quenching, whereas in the second one both the growth of the existed grains and creation of new ones during annealing may occur.

Bismuth-based high Tc superconductors have been prepared as fibers by a technique of melt extraction. As-made, the fibers are amorphous with diameters ranging from 0.7 μm to 100 μm and lengths of up to 5 cm. The fibers were subsequently transformed into high Tc superconductors by heat treatment in air. Superconducting transitions at 105 K and 82 K were measured in annealed fibers of initial composition Bi1.8Pb0.2Sr2Ca3Cu4Ox by SQUID magnetometry. The volume fractions of superconducting phases were estimated to have lower bounds of 30% for 2212 and 5% for 2223. The crystallization process has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. Crystallization involves first the formation of the Bi-2201 phase and a bcc phase with lattice parameter a = 0.425 nm before finally significant fractions of both the Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 phases are formed.

The glass-forming ability, thermal stability and magnetic properties of the Nd60-xDyxFe30Al10 (x=0, 2, 5) bulk amorphous alloys were investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the glass forming ability of the Nd60-xDyxFe30Al10 (x=0, 2, 5) alloys decrease with increasing Dy content. The as-cast Nd60-xDyxFe30Al10 (x=0, 2, 5) alloys show hard magnetic behavior at room temperature. With increasing Dy content, the intrinsic coercivity of the alloys increase significantly while the saturation magnetization and remanence of the alloys decrease monotonously. With increasing annealed temperature, the intrinsic coercivity of the Nd55Fe30Al10Dy5 alloy decreased significantly, while the saturation magnetization and remanence decrease monotonously. The Nd55Fe30Al10Dy5 alloy shows soft magnetic behavior after annealed at 773K for 30 min.
