Abstract:

In this study, the crystallization behavior of melt-spun Al87Ni10La3 amorphous phase was investigated by using X-ray diffraction and non-isothermal differential thermal analysis techniques. The results demonstrated that the amorphous phase exhibited two-stage crystallization on heating, i.e., at first step the amorphous phase transforms into α-Al phase and at second step Al11La3 and Al3Ni intermetallic phases precipitate, simultaneously. The activation energies of the crystallizations of the amorphous phase were evaluated by the Kissinger equation using the peak temperature of the exothermic reactions. The values of two-step crystallization activation energies were approximately 173.7±6 and 278.4±5 kJ/mol, respectively. The Avrami index was calculated for the first and second step of crystallizations and obtained 0.9 and 3.8 respectively. This kinetics investigation indicated that in the first step of crystallization of Al87Ni10La3 alloy, the nucleation rate decreases with time, and the crystallization is governed by a three-dimensional diffusion-controlled growth, while the second stage was in interface control regime.

Non-isothermal Primary Crystallization Kinetics of the Amorphous Fe85.3B11P3Cu0.7 Alloy

In the present research, the primary crystallization kinetics of the amorphous Fe85.3B11P3Cu0.7 alloy was analyzed using non-isothermal DSC measurements. The average and local activation energies, Ea, were determined by different isokinetic and isoconversional methods. The results obtained for activation energy in this research, show that due to the complexity of the primary crystallization pro...

Crystallization kinetics of Al±La±Ni amorphous alloy

The crystallization kinetics of an Al89La6Ni5 amorphous alloy were studied by thermal analysis. Both continuous heating and isothermal DSC traces showed that the Al89La6Ni5 amorphous alloy undergoes a two-stage crystallization process upon heating. The ®rst transformation, in which fcc-Al precipitates from the amorphous matrix, is a nucleation and three-dimensional di€usion-controlled growth pr...

Crystallization kinetics of amorphous NiTi shape memory alloy thin films

The temperature dependence of the crystallite nucleation and growth rates is measured for amorphous NiTi thin films. Using transmission electron microscopy, crystallites are shown to nucleate homogeneously in the film and to grow in a channeling mode. A mechanism that suppresses heterogeneous nucleation is proposed. By manipulating nucleation and growth rates, grains as large as 60 lm can be ob...
