利用电磁悬浮无容器处理技术实现了液态五元Zr₅₇Cu₂₀Al₁₀Ni₈Ti₅合金的深过冷与快速凝固,同时通过分子动力学模拟计算揭示了非晶形成的微观机制.实验发现,凝固组织具有明显的核-壳结构特征,核区为非晶相,壳区主要由ZrCu, Zr₂Cu和Zr₈Cu₅晶体相组成.非晶体积分数随合金过冷度的升高逐渐增大,当达到实验最大过冷度300 K (0.26T_L)时,非晶体积分数增至81.3%.由此导出完全非晶凝固所需临界过冷度为334 K. TEM分析显示,过冷度增大并接近临界过冷度时,合金凝固组织中晶体相主要为Zr₈Cu₅相,而ZrCu和Zr₂Cu相的生长被抑制.在达到临界过冷度后,过冷液相的凝固路径由Zr₈Cu₅结晶生长转变为非晶凝固.此外,合金的晶体壳中存在少量的晶间非晶相,而非晶核中...     

退火诱导亚稳态Fe80Cu20合金固溶体的结构相变

利用扩展x射线吸收精细结构和x射线衍射研究了机械合金化制备的体心立方(bcc)的亚稳态Fe₈₀Cu₂₀合金固溶体的结构随退火温度的变化特点.结果表明，在300—873 K温度范围内，随着退火温度的升高，bcc结构物相的晶格常数近于线性降低，这主要是由于Cu原子从bcc结构Fe₈₀Cu₂₀合金固溶体中逐渐偏析出来，生成面心立方(fcc)结构的Cu物相所致.经603K退火后，Cu原子的平均键长R_Cu—Cu增加了0.003 nm左右，大约有50%的Cu原子从bcc结构的Fe₈₀Cu₂₀合金固溶体中偏析出来.在773 K退火后，bcc结构Fe_８０Cu₂₀合金固溶体近于完全相分离，生成了bcc结构的α-Fe与fcc结构的Cu物相. 关键词： 扩展x射线吸收精细结构 x射线衍射 ８０Cu₂₀合金')" href="#">Fe_８０Cu₂₀合金 机械合金化

The characterisation of atomic structure and glass-forming ability of the Zr–Cu–Co metallic glasses studied by molecular dynamics simulations

In the present work, the glass formation process and structural properties of Zr₅₀Cu_50-xCo_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 50) bulk metallic glasses were investigated by a molecular dynamics simulation with the many body tight-binding potentials. The evolution of structure and glass formation process with temperature were discussed using the coordination number, the radial distribution functions, the volume–temperature curve, icosahedral short-range order, glass transition temperature, Voronoi analysis, Honeycutt–Andersen pair analysis technique and the distribution of bond–angles. Results indicate that adding Co causes similar responses on the nature of the Zr₅₀Cu_50-xCo_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 50) alloys except for higher glass transition temperature and ideal icosahedral type ordered local atomic environment. Also, the differences of the atomic radii play the key role in influencing the atomic structure of these alloys. Both Cu and Co atoms play a significant role in deciding the chemical and topological short-range orders of the Zr₅₀Cu_50-xCo_x ternary liquids and amorphous alloys. The glass-forming ability of these alloys is supported by the experimental observations reported in the literature up to now.     

Design of high T g Zr-based metallic glasses using atomistic simulation and experiment

In this paper, we systematically investigate local atomic structures of Zr_100?x Al _x (0???x???72) alloys using molecular dynamics simulations. Radial distribution functions of Zr-Al configurations at 300 K indicate that Zr-Al metallic glasses form only when the Al atomic concentration is larger than 32%. Voronoi polyhedral analysis shows that Zr₄₀Al₆₀ has the highest fraction of ?0,0,12,0? icosahedra around Al atoms, which are characteristic of amorphous microstructures. Variations of thermal expansion coefficient and heat capacity of Zr_100?x Al _x (40???x???72) metallic glasses as a function of temperature from 1100 to 800?K reveal that Zr₄₀Al₆₀ has the highest transition temperature of 1008?K. To confirm the simulation results, Zr-Al metallic glasses were fabricated using co-sputtering deposition; differential scanning calorimetry testing suggests the highest crystallisation-onset temperature of above 920?K is within Zr_100?x Al _x where 43?<?x?<?61. The experimental finding is in a good agreement with the simulation predictions.

Effect of Fe on the glass-forming ability,structure and devitrification behavior of Zr–Cu–Al bulk glass-forming alloys

We report on the glass-forming ability and devitrification behavior of Zr₆₀Cu₃₀Al₁₀, Zr₆₀Cu₂₅Al₁₀Fe₅ and Zr_62.5Cu_22.5Al₁₀Fe₅ bulk glass-forming alloys on heating. The effect of Fe addition on the structure of Zr–Al–Cu alloys is also discussed. Crystallization kinetics and structural changes in the glassy alloys were studied using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning and isothermal calorimetry methods. The results indicate that good glass-formers, such as Zr_62.5Cu_22.5Al₁₀Fe₅, are located somewhat beyond the equilibrium eutectic point. Possible phase separation in the supercooled liquid on heating and electron beam-induced in situ crystallization are observed and discussed.     

Local atomic structures in Zr-Ni metallic glasses

Local atomic structures of Zr100−xNix (x=33.3, 36, 50 at%) binary metallic glasses were investigated by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) probe. Structural parameters show that the Zr-Ni bond length, RZr-Ni, keeps a constant value of 2.62 Å, regardless of alloy compositions. This result implies that there is a strongly chemical interaction between Zr and Ni atoms, leading to significant chemical short-range orders (CSROs) in the present metallic glasses. Further analysis indicates that the SRO structures in these metallic glasses are extremely similar with those in their crystalline counterparts. It is interesting to note that the CSROs in the eutectic Zr₆₄Ni₃₆ metallic glass consist of Zr₂Ni-like and ZrNi-like CSROs.     

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.     

The behavior of 3d electrons and defects in TiAl-based alloys containing V and Cu studied by positron annihilation

Information of defects and 3d electrons in transition metals (Ti, V, Cu) and TiAl-based alloys (Ti₅₀Al₅₀, Ti₅₀Al₄₈V₂, Ti₅₀Al₄₈Cu₂) can be extracted from the positron lifetime and coincidence Doppler broadening spectra. The results show that the 3d electron signals for the transition metals Ti, V and Cu increase with the number of 3d electrons. The 3d electron signal and the electron density for binary TiAl alloy are relatively low due to the (Ti)3d-(Al)3p interactions. The addition of V and Cu atoms to TiAl alloy leads to the increase in the electron densities in bulk and the defects on grain boundaries simultaneously, as well as the enhancement of the 3d electron signal. The 3d electron signal in the spectrum of Ti₅₀Al₄₈Cu₂ alloy is higher than that of Ti₅₀Al₄₈V₂ alloy.     

Structural features and the microscopic dynamics of the three-component Zr<Subscript>47</Subscript>Cu<Subscript>46</Subscript>Al<Subscript>7</Subscript> system: Equilibrium melt,supercooled melt,and amorphous alloy

The structural and dynamic properties of the three-component Zr₄₇Cu₄₆Al₇ system are subjected to a molecular dynamics simulation in the temperature range T = 250–3000 K at a pressure p = 1.0 bar. The temperature dependences of the Wendt–Abraham parameter and the translation order parameter are used to determine the glass transition temperature in the Zr₄₇Cu₄₆Al₇ system, which is found to be T_c ≈ 750 K. It is found that the bulk amorphous Zr₄₇Cu₄₆Al₇ alloy contains localized regions with an ordered atomic structures. Cluster analysis of configuration simulation data reveals the existence of quasi-icosahedral clusters in amorphous metallic Zr–Cu–Al alloys. The spectral densities of time radial distribution functions of the longitudinal (C?_L(k, ω)) and transverse (C?_T(k, ω)) fluxes are calculated in a wide wavenumber range in order to study the mechanisms of formation of atomic collective excitations in the Zr₄₇Cu₄₆Al₇ system. It was found that a linear combination of three Gaussian functions is sufficient to reproduce the (C?_L(k, ω)) spectra, whereas at least four Gaussian contributions are necessary to exactly describe the (C?_T(k, ω)) spectra of the supercooled melt and the amorphous metallic alloy. It is shown that the collective atomic excitations in the equilibrium melt at T = 3000 K and in the amorphous metallic alloy at T = 250 K are characterized by two dispersion acoustic-like branches related with longitudinal and transverse polarizations.     

Eutectic isolation in Mg-Al-Cu-Li(-Y) alloys by centrifugal processing

Mg₅₆Al₃₀Li₇Cu₇ and Mg₅₀Al₃₀Y₆Li₇Cu₇ melts were processed for 2 h in a centrifuge at an inertial acceleration of 60 000g and a temperature of 530°C. Subsequent slow cooling across the melting temperature during continuous centrifugation leads to a pronounced stratification, with primary phases forming at the sample ends and binary and ternary eutectic microstructures forming in the middle of the sample, as resolved by scanning electron microscopy. In both cases, the ternary eutectic has the approximate nominal composition Mg₅₈Al₃₃Li₆Cu_2.5(Y_0.5). The implications of the use of high-temperature centrifugation as a new tool for finding deep eutectic compositions, which have the potential to form bulk metallic glasses, are discussed.     

Laser micro-processing of amorphous and partially crystalline Cu45Zr48Al7 alloy

This paper presents a microstructural study of laser micro-processed high-purity Cu₄₅Zr₄₈Al₇ alloys prepared by arc melting and Cu-mould casting. Microprocessing of the Cu₄₅Zr₄₈Al₇ alloy was performed using a Rofin DC-015 diffusion-cooled CO₂ slab laser system with 10.6-μm wavelength. The laser was defocused to a spot size of 0.2 mm on the sample surface. The laser parameters were set to give 300- and 350-W peak power, 30% duty cycle and a 3000-Hz laser pulse repetition frequency (PRF). About 100-micrometer-wide channels were scribed on the surfaces of disk-shaped amorphous and partially crystalline samples at traverse speeds of 500 and 5000 mm/min. These channels were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 2D stylus profilometry. The metallographic study and profile of these processed regions are discussed in terms of the applied laser processing parameters. The SEM micrographs showed that striation marks developed at the edge and inside these regions as a result of the laser processing. The results from this work showed that microscale features can be produced on the surface of amorphous Cu–Zr–Al alloys by CO₂ laser processing.
