The crystallization process of the Co84Fe5.3Si8.5B2.2 amorphous alloy examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) exhibits three exothermal steps at Tcr1=649K, Tcr2=800K, and Tcr3=838K. The rate constants of the first relaxation process (determined at 598K and 623K) are k1=5*10-4 s and k2=8*10-4 s and the corresponding activation energy Ea1=26.23 kJ/mol. The data for the relaxation process before the second crystallization step (determined at 683K and 713K) are k3=14.5*10-4 s and k4=17.5*10-4 s and the corresponding activation energy Ea2=60.0 kJ/mol. The process of structural relaxation in non-isothermal and isothermal conditions was studied by analysis of the results of measurements of the thermo electromotive force (TEMF). From the change of the temperature coefficient of TEMF that follows each annealing process, the relative electronic state density changes at the Fermi level were determined: ?N21/N2=5,45%, ?N22/N2=5,76%, ?N23/N2=7,57% and ?N24/N2=9,85%.

The aim of this research is to clarify a quantitative evaluation in the structural relaxation processes focusing on the activation energy in Cu based amorphous alloys. The activation energy for structural relaxation process in a metal type amorphous CuHfTi ternary alloys, with cross sections of typically 0.03 mm x 2.0 mm, prepared by chill-block melt spinning has been investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) with a cyclically heating technique. Activation energies for structural relaxation with a spatial quantity in amorphous materials have been discussed by use of a relaxed ratio function that depends on annealing temperature and time. In the present work, the distributions for the Activation Energy Spectrum (AES) were observed almost 152 kJmol-1 (1.58 eV). Another result has been also established that the “reversible” AES model energy distribution though the cyclically structure relaxation occurs even in amorphous Cu60Hf20Ti20 alloy.

The nanocrystallization kinetics of the Fe81Si3.5B13.5C2amorphous alloy was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The apparent activation energy Ea, as well as the nucleation and growth kinetic parameters has been calculated by Kissinger and Ozawa methods. The changeable activation energy Eawith crystalline fraction α was obtained by the expended Friedman method without assuming the kinetic model function, and the average value of Eawas 364±20 kJ/mol. It was shown that the crystallization mechanism of initial stage (0<α<0.7) of the transformation was bulk crystallization with two and three dimensional nucleation graining growth which was controlled by diffusion. For the middle stage (0.7<α<0.9), the crystallization mechanism is surface crystallization with one dimensional nucleation graining growth at a near-zero nucleation rate. In the final stage(α>0.9),the local Avrami exponents rose anomalously from 1.4 to about 2.0.

The crystallization kinetics of amorphous alloy Mg65Cu15Ag10Y10has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry in the mode of continuous heating annealing. It is found that both DSC curves and activation energy show a strong dependence on the heating rate. The activation energy for crystallization are determined as 186.1 and 184.4 KJ mol−1for the heating rates β=5-20 Kmin−1, and 107.5 and 110.0 KJmol−1for the heating rates β=20-80Kmin−1, when using the Kissinger equation and the Ozawa equation, respectively. Local activation energy at any volume fraction crystallized was obtained by the general Ozawa's isoconversional method. The average value of local activation energy for heating rates ranging from 5 to 20Kmin−1is 180.9 KJ mol−1and for heating rates ranging between 20 and 80Kmin−1is 110.2 KJ mol−1. Using the Suriñach curve fitting procedure, the kinetics mode was specified. The JMA kinetics is manifested as a rule in the early stages of the crystallization. The JMA exponent,n, initially being larger than 4 and continuously decreases to about 2 along with the development of crystallization. The NGG-like mode dominates in the advanced stages of the transformation. These two modes are mutually independent. The proportion between the JMA-like and the NGG-like modes is related to the heating rate.

The crystallization kinetics of melt-spun Cu64.5Zr35.5 amorphous alloy ribbons was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates. Besides, the Kissinger and isoconversional approaches were used to obtain the crystallization kinetic parameters. As shown in the results, the activation energies for glass transition and crystallization process at the onset, peak and end crystallization temperatures were obtained by means of Kissinger equation to be 577.65 ± 34, 539.86 ± 54, 518.25 ± 20 and 224.84 ± 2 kJ/mol, respectively. The nucleation activation energy Enucleation is greater than grain growth activation energy Egrowth, indicating that the nucleation process is harder than grain growth. The local activation energy Eα decreases in the whole crystallization process, which suggests that crystallization process is increasingly easy.

Abstract The non-isothermal behaviour of crystallization of polypropylene (PP) and its talc-filled composites was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry. Different analytical methods were used to describe the crystallization process. According to the behaviour of crystallization temperature, crystallization activation energy and crystallization parameters and coefficient, talc results in an increase in PP crystallization rate and in a decrease in total energy opposing to homogeneous crystallization. Velisaris-Seferis’ kinetic equation was found to describe reasonably well the non-isothermal behaviour of crystallization of PP and its filled composites.

Thermal and kinetic analyses of the structural changes for the amorphous alloy Fe89.8Ni1.5Si5.2B3C0.5, during the processes of non-isothermal heating and isothermal annealing, have been performed. The crystallisation process has been investigated using the method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is determined that this alloy crystalizes through three different stages. Changes in the electronic structure of the amorphous tape, for the temperature range 20 to 700?C have been studied. This was achieved by measuring the thermoelectromotive force (TEMS), of the thermo pair made of two tapes with same chemical structure of the alloy FeNiSiBC, but different atomic structure: one is in the crystal state (CL) and the other is in the amorphous state (AM). Analysis of the temperature dependence of the electromotive force has shown the following: the investigated alloy is thermically stable up to 450?C and changes in the atomic structure as well as equalising of the free electron density in both parts of the thermo pair AM-CL, take place in the temperature range from 450 to 550?C. Kinetic parameters of the process were determined by measuring time dependence of the TEMS in isothermic conditions at the temperatures 450, 480 and 510?C.

The structural changes effect on functional properties of ribbon shaped samples of the Fe81B13Si4C2 amorphous alloy during annealing process was investigated in this paper. Differential scanning calorimetry method has shown that this alloy crystallizes in one stage, in temperature range from room temperature up to 700?C. Structural relaxation process was investigated by sensitive dilatation method in nonisothermal and isothermal conditions. It has been shown that structural relaxation process occurs in two stages by measuring thermal expansion at constant temperatures of t1=420?C, t2 = 440?C and t3 = 460?C. The first stage is characterized by linear logarithmic dependence of thermal expansion upon time at constant temperature. The second stage of structural relaxation process is characterized by linear dependence of isothermal expansion upon the square root of process time. These results imply that the first stage of structural relaxation process is a rapid kinetic process, while the second stage of structural relaxation process is a slow diffusion process. The rate constants k11 = 2,27?10- 3 s-1, k12 = 2,79?10-3 s-1, k13 = 3,6?10-3 s-1, k21 = 0,67?10-4 s-1, k22 = 3,72?10-4 s-1, k23 = 21,53?10-4 s-1 and activation energies E1 = 48,64 kJ/mol and E2 = 366, 23 kJ/mol were determined for both stages of structural relaxation process. The distinct correlation between structural relaxation process and magnetic susceptibility relative change was determined by thermomagnetic measurements. It has been shown that magnetic susceptibility can be increased by up to 80%, by convenient annealings after structural relaxation process, at magnetic field intensity of 8 kA/m.

The Ti50Fe22Ni22Sn6 amorphous powder was prepared by mechanical alloying with a high-energy planetary ball mill. Crystallization kinetics of the milled amorphous powders was investigated by DSC. Thermal analysis showed that when the heating rate increasing from 10K/min to 40K/min, the super-cooled liquid region of milled amorphous alloy increased from 93K to 110K. On the basis of the obtained DSC curves, the characteristic temperatures of the amorphous powders could be measured. The equations of Kissinger and Ozawa were used to calculate the crystallization activation energies of the milled amorphous alloy for comparing. The activation energy for the glass transition Eg had the maximum values of 650KJ/mol and 629KJ/mol calculated from Kissinger and Ozawa, respectively. In addition, the second crystallization process had a higher activation energy value comparing with the others crystallization events.

The aim of this research is to clarify a quantitative evaluation in the structural relaxation processes focusing on the activation energy on the addition of B to Cu-based amorphous alloys. The activation energy for structural relaxation process in a metal type amorphous CuHfTi ternary and CuHfTiB quaternary alloys, with cross sections of typically 0.03 mm x 2.0 mm, prepared by chill-block melt spinning has been investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) with a cyclically heating technique. Activation energies for structural relaxation with a spatial quantity in amorphous materials have been discussed by use of a total relaxed ratio function that depends on annealing temperature and time. In the present work on CuHfTi ternary and CuHfTiB quaternary alloys, the distributions for the Activation Energy Spectrum (AES) by calculation with derivative-type relaxed ratio function were observed almost 160 kJmol-1, whereas in difference for shape only in the CuHfTi-B3% quaternary alloy. Another result has been also established that the ‘reversible’ AES model energy distribution though the cyclically structure relaxation occurs even in amorphous CuHfTiB alloy system.

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.
