Glassy and icosahedral phases in rapidly solidified Ti–Zr–Hf–(Fe, Co or Ni) alloys

چکیده
The icosahedral quasicrystalline, amorphous plus crystalline and glassy phases were formed in Ti40Zr20Hf20(3d-LTM)20 alloys (3d-LTM=3d late transition metals Fe, Co and Ni). The icosahedral phase formed in the melt-spun Ti40Zr20Hf20Fe20 alloy is metastable and the average size of the quasicrystalline icosahedral particles precipitated in the amorphous matrix is 5 nm. The metastable icosahedral phase transformed to a big-cubic fcc Hf2Fe phase with the grain size of about 20 nm after annealing for 1.8 ks at 841 K. The glassy phase was formed in the melt-spun Ti40Zr20Hf20Co20 alloy and no metastable phase was found to form during the transformation from glassy phase to a stable crystalline phase. Icosaheadral phase formed in the melt-spun Ti40Zr20Hf20Ni20 alloy transformed to a big-cubic fcc (Zr,Ti)2Ni solid solution phase by a solid state reaction.

متن کاملRelationship between polytetrahedral crystals and glasses by using anomalous X-ray diffraction technique and geometrical modelling
2014 Partial interference functions and radial distribution functions are determined using the anomalous X-ray diffraction technique for the amorphous alloy Cu2Y. These results are generalized for the amorphous family of A2B amorphous alloys where A is Co, Fe, Cu, or Ni and B is Zr or Y. By comparing the coordination number and interatomic distances obtained experimentally with those of geometr...

Non-stoichiometric Zr-based alloys were prepared, and the corresponding electrochemical properties were characterized as hydride electrode alloys. The microstructure and chemical composition of non-stoichiometric Zr–Ti–Mn–V–Ni hydride electrode alloys were systematically investigated by x-ray Rietveld refinement, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy under T...

The electronic transport behaviors of (Ni(0.39)Nb(0.25)Zr(0.35))(100-) (x)H(x) (0 ≤ x < 23.5) glassy alloys with subnanostructural icosahedral Zr(5)Nb(5)Ni(3) clusters have been studied as a function of hydrogen content. These alloys show semiconducting, electric current-induced voltage (Coulomb) oscillation and ballistic transport behaviors. Coulomb oscillation and ballistic transport occur at...
متن کاملSolvent extraction and separation of hafnium from zirconium using Ionquest
industries, its nuclear properties in the pure metallic form make it highly desirable for nuclear applications. Zr is highly corrosion resistant and has a high melting point (2128 K) with a low thermal neutron absorption cross-section of Zr T = 0.18 b, which is significantly smaller than that of hafnium Hf T =115 b) (Speer, 1982), an element that coexists with Zr in nature. This makes Zr ideal ...
