Amorphous alloys and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

Abstract A remarkable number of scientific papers are available in the literature about bulk amorphous alloys and metallic glasses. Today, DSC is an essential tool for research development, course quality assurance. In many cases, users seek to examine determination only one or two properties, although much more information can be obtained from measurements. The involved structural relaxation, Curie temperature, glass crystallization, phase separation, nanocrystalline volume fraction, melting point liquidus temperature subjects kinetics microstructural transformations induced by thermal treatment. We collected present that with this technique draws reader’s attention some potential problems related data interpretation.
