A STUDY OF THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF AMORPHOUS Cu60Zr40 ALLOY

The crystallization of the amorphous Cu₆₀Zr₄₀ alloy has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning Auger microprobe (SAM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The DSC trace showed that the sample exhibited a glass transition at 750 K and a strong exothermic effect beginning from 782 K. An enrichment of the element Zr and significant oxygen contamination in a zone near the surface to a depth of about 10 nm were revealed by SAM in the analysis of surface competition and depth profiles of the Cu₆₀Zr₄₀ sample. Also, the change of concentration ratio of Ca to Zr in amorphous matrix at the clean Cu₆₀Zr₄₀ surface as a function of annealing temperature was examined in detail, and it was found that the concentration of Zr at the surface is slightly higher than that in the bulk until 780K and that the concentration ratio of Cu to Zr in matrix has an abrupt increase in the temperature range of 780-800K. The observations by high resolution TEM revealed the appearance of cluster-like regions of approximately 1.5-2.0 nm in size just before crystallization and they distributed randomly throughout the sample. This phenomenon is analogous to the results obtained using field ion microscopy (FIM) by the present authors. The microstructural changes of the sample daring heating show the gradual crystallization of the amorphous matrix.     

Effects of nickel on the crystallization of Zr70Cu20Ni10 amorphous alloy

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) are employed to investigate the effects of nickel on the crystallization of the amorphous Zr₇₀Cu₂₀Ni₁₀ alloy. We have found that the crystallization process of the amorphous Zr₇₀Cu₂₀Ni₁₀ alloy is strongly influenced by the addition of nickel. Addition of 10 at% Ni to the Zr₇₀Cu₃₀ amorphous alloy makes the crystallization process proceed from a single-stage mode to a double-stage mode. The activation energy for crystallization of the amorphous Zr₇₀Cu₂₀Ni₁₀ alloy is calculated to be about 388kJ·mol^-1 on the basis of the Kissinger equation. The effects of nickel on the crystallization of the amorphous Zr₇₀Cu₂₀Ni₁₀ alloy are discussed in terms of the genetics of metals.

Heat treatment effects in amorphous metals: Zr70Cu30 and La70Cu30

We measured the electrical resistivity (4–300 K), superconducting critical temperature and thermal conductivity (0.5–7 K) of the amorphous metals Zr₇₀Cu₃₀ and La₇₀Cu₃₀. Heat treatments below crystallization temperature induced changes in these properties. In particular, in the first stage of the annealing of Zr₇₀Cu₃₀ there are systematic changes in the thermal conductivity and the critical temperature, while the electrical resistivity remains constant. We show that there is no simple correlation between the thermal conductivity processes in the low temperature and plateau regions. We also show that the thermal conductivity of as quenched La₇₀Cu₃₀ is typical of amorphous metals, contrary to information previously reported.

Crystallization behavior and microstructure of Fe75Co6Zr9B10 alloy

Fe₇₅Co₆Zr₉B₁₀ amorphous alloy prepared by melt-spinning was annealed at various temperatures. The crystallization behavior and microstructure were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The three exothermal peaks in the DTA curve of Fe₇₅Co₆Zr₉B₁₀ amorphous alloy correspond to the formations of α-Fe and α-Mn type phases, the growth of BCC-Fe volume fraction at the expense of α-Mn and residual amorphous phase and the precipitations of Fe₃Zr, etc. intermetallic compounds, respectively. The second exothermic peak is not influenced by heating rate, but it shifts to a higher temperature region with increasing preannealing temperature of Fe₇₅Co₆Zr₉B₁₀ alloy. The α-Mn type phase is metastable and its lattice parameter determined by TEM is 0.8830 nm. AFM images show the development of surface morphology of alloy after annealing. The particle size increases with increasing annealing temperature.

Ni51Zr49非晶合金晶化过程的电子显微镜研究

用透射电子显微镜对Ni₅₁Zr₄₉非晶合金的晶化过程进行了研究,发现晶化初期首先从非晶基体上析出的是具有C心单斜点阵的NiZr＇相,a=0.3268nm,b=0.4101nm,c=0.5224nm,β=71.8°。与稳定相NiZr有很明确的取向关系:[100]_NiZr＇∥[100]_NiZr [001]_NiZr＇∥[110]_NiZr。它可以看成是NiZr相的亚稳态或超结构。随温度升高,逐渐转变成NiZr相。温度再高时,在非晶基体上还会析出少量Ni₁₀Zr₇相。晶化初期,无论是NiZr还是NiZr＇相,都是以多次孪晶的形式析出。孪晶有这两种基本形式,一种是以NiZr或NiZr＇的[021]方向为轴的180°孪晶,一种是以NiZr的[001]或NiZr＇的[010]方向为轴的36°旋转孪晶,其它孪晶为这两种孪晶方式的重复与组合。随着温度的升高,孪晶逐渐减少。 关键词：

Acid corrosion of amorphous and crystalline Cu-Zr alloys

Corrosion resistance of amorphous and crystalline Cu₄₅Zr₅₅, Cu₅₀Zr₅₀ and Cu₆₀Zr₄₀ alloys in strong acid (C_H⁺ = 1 M ℓ^-1) solutions was investigated with the use of potentiodynamic and gravimetric techniques. It was observed that the corrosion resistance of these alloys tested in H₂SO₄ and HNO₃ solutions was very high. However, amorphous Cu-Zr alloys exhibit a lack of resistance in HCl solutions where the corrosion rate increases with the rise of Cu content in the alloy (selective etching of Zr). Crystallization of alloys strongly improves their resistance to corrosion in HCl provided the Zr content in an alloy ⩾ 50 at%.

Effect of aluminum on the hyperfine field and crystallization behaviour of NANOPERM alloy

The effect of Al on the hyperfine fields and crystallization of NANOPERM alloy has been studied by introducing 2% Al for Fe in Fe₈₈Zr₇B₄Cu₁. Al is found to enhance the nucleation rate in these alloys. Mössbauer spectroscopic technique has been used to trace the effect of Al on the hyperfine interactions in the amorphous and nanocrystalline state of these alloys. The hyperfine field clearly shows the presence of Al both in the amorphous and the nanocrystalline phase. Magnetic measurements using VSM and also XRD, TEM and DSC studies have been used to support the conclusions derived using Mössbauer spectroscopy.     

Research on Zr50Al15−xNi10Cu25Yx amorphous alloys prepared by mechanical alloying with commercial pure element powders

Amorphous Zr₅₀Al_15−xNi₁₀Cu₂₅Y_x alloy powders were fabricated by mechanical alloying at low vacuum with commercial pure element powders. The effects on glass forming ability of Al partial substituted by Y in Zr₅₀Al₁₅Ni₁₀Cu₂₅ and thermal stability of Si₃N₄ powders addition were investigated. The as-milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimeter. The results show that partial substitution of Al can improve the glass forming ability of Zr₅₀Al₁₅Ni₁₀Cu₂₅ alloy. Minor Si₃N₄ additions raise the crystallization activation energy of the amorphous phase and thus improve its thermal stability.

A comparative study of the structure and crystallization of bulk metallic amorphous rod Pr60Ni30Al10 and melt-spun metallic amorphous ribbon Al87Ni10Pr3

Pr-based bulk metallic amorphous （BMA） rods （Pr60Ni30Al10） and Al-based amorphous ribbons （Al87Ni10Pr3） have been prepared by using copper mould casting and single roller melt-spun techniques, respectively. Thermal parameters deduced from differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） indicate that the glass-forming ability （GFA） of Pr60Ni30Al10 BMA rod is far higher than that of Al87Ni10Pr3 ribbon. A comparative study about the differences in structure between the two kinds of glass-forming alloys, superheated viscosity and crystallization are also made. Compared with the amorphous alloy Al87Ni10Pr3, the BMA alloy Pr60Ni30Al10 shows high thermal stability and large viscosity, small diffusivity at the same superheated temperatures. The results of x-Ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） show the pronounced difference in structure between the two amorphous alloys. Together with crystallization results, the main structure compositions of the amorphous samples are confirmed. It seems that the higher the GFA, the more topological type clusters in the Pr-Ni-Al amorphous alloys, the GFAs of the present glass-forming alloys are closely related to their structures.
