Relation Between Medium-Range Order and Crystallization in Al-Ni Based Metallic Glass

چکیده
The structure evolutions of Al83Ni10Ce5Si2, Al83Ni10Ce7, Al85Ni10Ce5, Al87Ni7Nd6 and Al87Ni5Co2Nd6 metallic glasses have been studied in detail. The studies establish a relation between the amount of medium range order (MRO) and crystallization mode. An increased amount of MRO suppresses the precipitation of primary fcc-Al and transforms the crystallization mode from a primary crystallization (Al87Ni7Nd6) to a eutectic crystallization (Al87Ni5Co2Nd6); while a decreasing amount of MRO promotes the precipitation of primary fcc-Al and transforms the crystallization mode from a eutectic crystallization (Al83Ni10Ce7 and Al85Ni10Ce5) to a primary crystallization (Al83Ni10Ce5Si2).

Hidden amorphous phase and reentrant supercooled liquid in Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses
An anomaly in differential scanning calorimetry has been reported in a number of metallic glass materials in which a broad exothermal peak was observed between the glass and crystallization temperatures. The mystery surrounding this calorimetric anomaly is epitomized by four decades long studies of Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses, arguably the best glass-forming alloys. Here we show, using a suite of ...
متن کاملCritical scaling of icosahedral medium-range order in CuZr metallic glass-forming liquids
The temperature evolution of icosahedral medium-range order formed by interpenetrating icosahedra in CuZr metallic glassforming liquids was investigated via molecular dynamics simulations. Scaling analysis based on percolation theory was employed, and it is found that the size distribution of clusters formed by the central atoms of icosahedra at various temperatures follows a very good scaling ...
متن کاملAtomistic Design of Favored Compositions for Synthesizing the Al-Ni-Y Metallic Glasses
For a ternary alloy system promising for obtaining the so-called bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), the first priority issue is to predict the favored compositions, which could then serve as guidance for the appropriate alloy design. Taking the Al-Ni-Y system as an example, here we show an atomistic approach, which is developed based on a recently constructed and proven realistic interatomic potenti...

In this Letter, direct experimental evidence is provided for understanding the thermal stability with respect to crystallization in the Zr(41.2)Ti(13.8)Cu(12.5)Ni(10)Be(22.5) glass-forming liquid. Through high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the atomic-structure evolution in the glass-forming liquid during the isothermal annealing process is clearly revealed. In contrast with the e...
متن کاملCorrelation between dynamic heterogeneity and medium-range order in two-dimensional glass-forming liquids.
A glassy state of matter results if crystallization is avoided upon cooling or increasing density. However, the physical factors controlling the ease of vitrification and nature of the glass transition remain elusive. Using numerical simulations of polydisperse hard disks, we find a direct relation between medium-range crystalline ordering and the slow dynamics which characterizes the glass tra...
