Mg60Ni23.6La16.4 amorphous ribbon was prepared by melting-spinning method and the crystallization behavior was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Mg60Ni23.6La16.4 crystallization process exhibits two stages of crystallization and shows an obviously kinetic nature. Isothermal DSC curves indicate that the crystallization is a nucleation-and-growth procedure. The activation energy analysis based on Kissinger Method shows that the growth process for the first crystallization procedure is more difficult than that for the second one. Calculation based on the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) model shows that the primary crystallization starts from small crystalline grains with an increasing nucleation rate.

Montmorillonite Nanocomposites

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The crystallization behavior of PE/MMT nanocomposites at different MMT concentrations (from 0.1 to 1.2 wt %) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The equilibrium melting points increase by the addition of MMT. The crystallization rates of PE/MMT nanocomposites are faster than those of pure PE. The addition of MMT facilitated the crystallization of PE, with the MMT functioning as a heterogeneous nucleating agent at lower content; at higher concentrations, however, the physical hindrance of the MMT layers to the motion of PE chains retarded the crystallization process.

In this study, PP/clay nanocomposites have been fabricated at different nanoclay loadings, i.e. 0, 5, 10, and 5 wt% for the 1stcycle and 2ndcycle (re-processing). The prepared nanocomposites were then characterized by a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to investigate the effects of nanoclay loadings and re-processing on the melting and crystallization of the nanocomposites. The DSC results showed that the melting temperature,Tmwas not significantly affected by the nanoclay loadings and re-processing. In the other hand, the degree of crystallinity,Xcof the nanocomposites was higher than that of neat PP, but only reached a maximum at nanoclay loading of 5 wt% (i.e. 51.2% for NC-5-I and 48.3% for NC-5-II). Thereafter, theXcdecreased at higher nanoclay loadings. There was no significant difference inXcbetween 1stcycle and 2ndcycle. Additionally, in all nanocomposites samples for both cycles, there were two crystallization temperatures, i.e.Tc1andTc2. In the overall crystallization process, theTcof nanocomposites increased by 11-12°C compared to that of neat PP. Whereas, the onset crystallization temperature,Tocalso increased by approx. 13°C. Apparently, there was no significant effect of nanoclay loadings and re-processing on theTcndTocof the nanocomposites.

The devitrification of the Fe-Ni-B-Si amorphous ribbon was investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with scanning and isothermal methods. The devitrification of rapidly quenched ribbons is a multilevel process. On the basis of DSC investigations it was determined that crystallization occurs in three processes up to 700°C in the Fe40Ni40B16Si4 alloy. In the present work the first and second steps have been discussed. The first crystallization step involves the segregation of the Fe-Ni crystalline solid solution from the amorphous matrix. During the second crystallization phase, in addition to austenite, nickel silicide and two types of iron borides crystallize as well. The ribbons were relaxed at 380°C for 2 hours, following the pre-annealing at different temperatures. Pre-annealing was performed in the DSC within the temperature range elapsing from 395°C to 420°C. The preannealing at temperatures below the first exothermal DSC peak has an effect on the crystallization processes. After the pre-annealing the samples were investigated by DSC. The DSC peak of the first crystallization step shifts to higher temperatures and decrease its enthalpy. The scanning DSC measurements, applied after the isothermal pre-annealing, were performed in order to determine the fraction of the ribbon transformed in the primary crystallization step. The second DSC peak shifts to lower temperatures with a maximum of 4°C. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal that the lattice constant changes with the pre-annealing temperatures. Such observation was also supported by the circumstance that the composition of the Fe-Ni solid solution undergoes certain modifications.

The Stability

The crystallization process, both at the initial and subsequent stages, of amorphous Al88-RE4-Ni8 alloys (RE = Y, Sm and Ce) has been studied. Additionally, the consequences of adding 1 at.% Cu replacing Ni or Al were studied. The stability of the amorphous structure in melt spun ribbons was thermally studied by differential scanning calorimetry, with Ce alloys being the most stable. The effect of Cu to reduce the nanocrystal size during primary crystallization was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. This latter technique and x-ray diffraction showed the formation of intermetallic phases at higher temperatures. A clear difference was observed for the Ce alloy, with a simpler sequence involving the presence of Al3Ni and Al11Ce3. However, for the Y and Sm alloys, a more complex evolution involving metastable ternary phases before Al19RE5Ni3 appears, takes place. The shape of the intermetallics changes from equiaxial in the Ce alloys to elongate for Y and Sm, with longer particles for Sm and, in general, when Cu is added to the alloy.

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.

The precipitation behavior of Mg and Si during storage at RT in Al-Mg-Si alloys pre-aged at 90°C was studied using a tensile test and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement. Specimens were solutionized at 530°C, water-quenched and then pre-aged for 2, 6 and 12 hours at 90°C during which small precipitates were formed. In the pre-aged alloy, the strengthening rate at RT has two stages. In the initial stage, the yield strength increases slowly with the aging time and in the final stage, it increases rapidly. In the initial stage, the strength in the pre-aged alloy is smaller than that in the non pre-aged alloy, while in the final stage, the strength in the pre-aged alloy is larger than that in the non pre-aged alloy. Furthermore, the period of the initial stage is dependent on the pre-aging period at 90°C. The DSC curves of alloys in the initial stage do not show the presence of clusters, while those in the final stage do. It seems that in the initial stage Mg and Si atoms accumulate around the small precipitates that have been formed in pre-aging at 90°C while in the final stage, the clusters of these atoms are formed.

The study of the non-isothermal crystallization behavior of polymers is of great importance due to the effect of degree of crystallinity and crystallization process on the polymer properties. The effect of aminopropylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (APIBPOSS) and aminopropylisooctyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (APIOPOSS) on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) crystallization is studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under non-isothermal conditions and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The crystallization kinetics is analyzed using the Avrami and Mo models, and effective activation energies are evaluated by the Friedman isoconversional method. The results show that the compatibility between polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) and PCL and POSS loading affect the crystallization process. A higher crystallization temperature, a narrower size distribution of crystallite, and a faster crystallization rate are obtained in the presence of all the studied contents of APIBPOSS and at lower contents of APIOPOSS. At APIOPOSS contents higher than 2 wt %, the crystallization temperature is lowered, the size distribution of crystallite is broadened, and the crystallization process is retarded. The presence of POSS leads to an increase in the number of nucleation sites, and a reduction in the size of the crystallite and the overall degree of crystallinity, as a result of the confinement of PCL chains caused by POSS nanoparticles.

Primary crystallization of amorphous Al86Ni6Y6Ce2(at.%) alloy was investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction. Moreover, nanoindentation analysis was performed to relate the hardness to the structure of the alloy. The kinetic parameters of the first crystallization process were determined by Kissinger method. The average amount of Avrami exponent (n=1.7±0.21) was concluded the primary crystallization occurred through three dimensional diffusion-controlled growth with decreasing rate. The α-Al nanoparticles 58 nm in size homogeneously embedded in the glassy matrix were formed during primary crystallization. Significant changes in the hardness occurred due to the change of the crystalline structures. The hardness of 7.30±0.58 GPa was obtained by annealing at 618 K with a microstructure of Al nanoparticles and Al3Ni intermetallic compound in an amorphous matrix.

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.
