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.

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.     

Phase transition in Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 bulk metallic glass under HP & HT

The phase transitions in Pd₄₀Ni₁₀Cu₃₀P₂₀ bulk metallic glass (BMG) have been studied under high pressure and high temperature (HP & HT) by X-ray diffaction measurements with synchrotron radiation source. We found that the BMG underwent a phase transitions of amorphous-crystalline-amorphous at 10 GPa upon heating. The parallel experiments were carried out at 7 GPa, while we did not observe the amorphous-crystalline-amorphous transitions by increasing temperature. Quenching the melted BMG at 7 GPa, it was found that the phase crystallized from the melt differed from the primary phase crystallized from the starting amorphous solid upon heating suggesting there existed a distinct mechanism in two cases.

退火态Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30块体非晶合金在轧制过程中的自由体积演化

将Zr₅₅Al₁₀Ni₅Cu₃₀块体非晶合金在715 K等温退火30 min, 引入少量纳米晶, 然后于室温以不同的应变速率进行轧制, 用差示扫描量热仪考察不同应变量样品的热稳定性和自由体积演化. 结果表明:即使轧制到95%的最大应变量, 样品的热稳定性也几乎没有发生改变. 在各种应变速率下, 随着应变量的增加, 自由体积含量持续上升. 但随着应变速率的增加, 相同应变量下自由体积的含量先上升后降低, 该规律与单一非晶态结构合金在塑性变形过程中自由体积的变化情况截然不同.     

Measurement and simulation of specific heat for metastable liquid Ni80Fe10Cu10 alloy

The specific heat of undercooled liquid Ni₈₀Fe₁₀Cu₁₀ alloy was experimentally measured by electromagnetic levitation drop calorimeter, and also numerically simulated by the molecular dynamics method. The achieved maximum undercooling is up to 252 K (0.15 T _L) in the experiments, and the measured result is 41.67 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. The simulation provides calculated data within 0∼702 K undercooling range, which is much broader than the experimental regime. The simulated value is 37.02 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. Although there exists a difference of 4.65 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ between them, the result is quite acceptable for simulation. Furthermore, the liquid structure of undercooled Ni₈₀Fe₁₀Cu₁₀ alloy is studied in terms of the total and partial pair distribution functions, which display that the ordered degree of atoms enhances from a normal liquid to metastable state.     

冲击加载下Zr51Ti5Ni10Cu25Al9金属玻璃的塑性行为

Physical aging in Zr46.75Ti8.25Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 typical bulk metallic glass manifested as enthalpy relaxation

Enthalpy recovery is not only an important characteristic of physical aging of glass, but also a good tool to investigate the physical aging. Using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the enthalpy recovery of Zr_46.75Ti_8.25Cu_7.5Ni₁₀Be_27.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was studied. The typical characteristics of enthalpy recovery of glass including the sub-T _g peak and ‘overshot’ were found in BMG. The evolution of the sub-T _g peak and ‘overshot’ were described by the free volume theory and Hodge’s model, respectively. It was found that the former failed to describe the enthalpy recovery in the BMG, while the latter could give a qualitative explanation. In combination with the dynamics in the BMG, the origin of the enthalpy recovery in the BMG was discussed. The results show that BMGs are an ideal material to investigate the physical aging. The further understanding of physical aging of BMGs is useful to clarify the nature of glass and improve the application and device of new types of BMGs.

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.     

A simulation study of rapid solidification and crystal configuration of Cu70Ni30 alloy

A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study has been performed for the rapid solidification of Cu₇₀Ni₃₀ adopting the quantum Sutton-Chen many-body potentials. By analyzing the bond-types and the relation of atomic average energy versus temperature, it was demonstrated that as cooling rate being 2×10¹² K/s, the Cu₇₀Ni₃₀ formed fcc crystal structures and freezing point was found. In addition, having analyzed the transformation of microstructures and the detail of crystal growth by using atomic trace and visual method, not only could the formation of binary disordered solid solution be showed, but also the solidification of liquid metals and the crystal growth processes could be, further understood.     

Short-to-medium-range order in Mg65Cu25Y10 metallic glass

The atomic configurations of liquid and glassy Mg₆₅Cu₂₅Y₁₀ alloy have been simulated in the temperature range of 300 K to 2000 K via ab initio molecular dynamics. The variations of pair correlation function (PCF), structure factor (SF), coordination number (CN) and bond pairs with the temperature for this alloy are characterized. It has been shown that the atoms are near densely packed and icosahedral type of short-range order (SRO) is predominant in the glass state. Icosahedral medium range order (MRO) can be formed by vertex or intercross connection of icosahedral SROs. In this work, an icosahedral MRO which is composed of 55 atoms has been found. It has been also clarified that Mg and Cu occupy the centre or vertex, and Y atoms only occupy the vertex of the icosahedron in this glassy alloy. It is believed that these findings have implication for understanding the glass forming mechanism of magnesium based metallic glasses.

In-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction study of stress-induced phase transformation in Ti50.1Ni40.8Cu9.1 thin films

Stress-induced martensitic transformation of as-sputtered and post-annealed Ti_50.1Ni_40.8Cu_9.1 thin films was investigated using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (S-XRD) technique. For the as-deposited film, in-situ S-XRD analysis showed a martensitic transformation from parent phase to martensite during initial loading, followed by reorientation of martensite variants via detwinning. This detwinning process induced a strong 〈0 2 0〉 fiber texture along the loading direction and a strong 〈0 0 2〉 fiber texture perpendicular to the loading direction. For the 650 °C annealed film, there is only elastic deformation, followed by a martensitic transformation during deformation.
