Abstract:
The evolution of the elastic properties and the character of the structural changes occurring during the crystallization of amorphous Mg-Ni-Y alloys are investigated. The process of crystallization is shown to proceed in two stages with formation of an intermediate metastable phase at the first stage. This phase has higher elastic characteristics than those of the stable crystalline phases of this system.
