Nb添加对Cu-Zr非晶合金玻璃转变和晶化动力学的影响

采用铜模吸铸法制备出直径为2 mm的Cu_50.3Zr_49.7-xNb_x(x=0,2)大块非晶合金，利用示差扫描量热分析(DSC)研究了2at%Nb元素添加对Cu-Zr非晶合金玻璃转变动力学和晶化动力学的影响，发现含Nb合金具有较低的脆性指数，和较高的晶化激活能.这表明微量Nb的添加提高了该二元Cu基非晶合金过冷金属液相的热稳定性，从而有利于其非晶合金的形成. 关键词： Cu-Zr非晶合金 Nb添加 玻璃转变动力学 晶化动力学     

Glass Formation Ability and Kinetics of the Gd55A120Ni25 Bulk Metallic Glass

We report a new bulk glass-forming alloy GdssA12oNi25. The bulk sample of the alloy is prepared in the shape of rods in diameter 2ram by suction casting. The rod exhibits typical amorphous characteristics in the x-ray diffraction pattern, paramagnetic property at 30OK, distinct glass transition and multi-step crystallization behaviour in differential scanning calorimetry traces. The gJass formation ability of the alloy is investigated by using the reduced glass transition temperature Trg and the parameter γ- Kinetics of glass transition and primary crystallization is also studied. The fragility parameter m obtained from the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann dependence of glass transition temperature Tg on In φ （φ is the heating rate） classifies the bulk metallic glasses into the intermediate category according to Angell＇s classification.
