Ti20Zr20Hf20Cu20Be20高熵非晶合金应力弛豫行为研究

高熵非晶合金力学弛豫行为的研究,对于理解玻璃转变、塑性变形、弛豫机理等科学问题和拓展其工程应用极为关键。本文采用应力分析方法对Ti20Zr20Hf20Cu20Be20高熵非晶合金条带进行了研究,旨在揭示高熵非晶合金应力弛豫行为。通过分析其在恒定应变下较宽时间窗口和温度窗口内的应力衰减过程,发现在低于Tg的玻璃态下,高熵非晶合金中存在着弛豫解耦现象,分别是慢弛豫和快弛豫过程。其中慢弛豫呈现扩展指数衰减模式,弛豫时间存在对温度的Arrhenius动力学依赖关系,与长程原子重排运动有关,快弛豫过程对应于微观局部内应力的逐步消散过程。不论该高熵非晶合金变形处于弹性阶段还是发生了屈服,应力弛豫过程受应变的影响都较小。本研究揭示了高熵非晶合金中新的弛豫解耦现象和与之相关的独特动力学机制,拓宽了我们对高熵非晶合金弛豫动力学过程以及其本征特性的认知。

Thermal behaviour of Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 bulk metallic glass

The thermal behaviour of differently milled Pd₄₀Cu₃₀Ni₁₀P₂₀ bulk metallic glass through the glass transition has been investigated by in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Repeated heating and cooling were performed between the glassy and the supercooled liquid state. The changes in positions and intensities of the first and second diffraction maxima of the as-milled powder indicate irreversible changes during first heating up to the glass transition temperature T_g due to structural relaxation. After annealing, reversible structural changes with temperature are observed upon heating and cooling in the glassy phase, and in the supercooled liquid state respectively. The shift in the position of the first maximum scales approximately with the linear thermal expansion for the glassy state; however, this relation does not hold for the supercooled liquid. The structural transition from the glass to the supercooled liquid at the glass transition temperature is reflected by the intensity of the diffraction maxima and by a reversed temperature dependence of the position of the second diffuse maximum below and above T_g. The changes of the glass structure for the decrease of free volume by annealing are found to be different from those observed for the reversible volume expansion or shrinkage by varying the temperature. Therefore, the shift of the first diffuse maximum position of bulk metallic glasses cannot be used as a measure of the change in free volume.

钯基金属玻璃在氢相关工业中具有潜在的应用价值。在本工作中,我们通过电弧熔炼、铜辊甩带的方法制备了Pd_71.5Cu₁₂Si_16.5 金属玻璃的宽带样品。通过常规X射线衍射仪和短波长X射线应力分析仪的X射线衍射谱确定了样品的完全非晶态结构。在室温、100kPa压力条件下,对样品进行了多次的吸、放氢循环实验。经过10次以上的循环后,样品没有发生破坏,表现出良好的抗氢脆性能。通过气体直接渗透的方法进一步测试了Pd_71.5Cu₁₂Si_16.5 金属玻璃及其同成分晶态合金的氢渗透性能。在金属玻璃的过冷液相区温度范围内,其氢渗透率明显高于晶态相,这一结果由金属玻璃在该区间内的等温保持引入了更多的自由体积进行解释。     

一种具有优异玻璃形成能力的Zr50Ti5Cu27Ni10Al8大块非晶合金的开发

多组元的Zr基非晶合金成分的复杂性对开发具有优异玻璃形成能力的Zr基非晶合金提出巨大的挑战。另外,大部分Zr基非晶合金含有有毒元素Be或者贵金属。因此,采用一种简单有效的方法开发无毒无贵金属元素的多组元Zr基非晶合金十分必要。本文中采用二元共晶比例法和部分元素替代法快速的开发出了一种新的临界尺寸大于10mm的 Zr50Ti5Cu27Ni10Al8非晶合金。这个非晶合金的热稳定性和硬度也通过原位高温X射线衍射和纳米压痕方法测量得出。     

过冷液态Zr48Cu36Ag8Al8块体非晶合金的相分离及组织演变

本文通过x射线衍射(XRD)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)研究了退火温度对Zr₄₈Cu₃₆Ag₈Al₈金属玻璃微观结构演化的影响。结果表明,快速凝固获得的样品为典型的非晶态结构。当样品在703K保温20分钟时,均一的非晶基体相分离成两种非晶合金,即,发生相分离。由于相分离结构与非晶基体在等温退火过程是竞争的关系,这个结构很容易向晶化态进行转变,形成AlZr₂ AlAg₃相。Zr₄₈Cu₃₆Ag₈Al₈金属玻璃的微观结构在过冷液相区等温退火过程中经历了的局部结构转变,相分离以及纳米晶转变,这个过程意味着Zr₄₈Cu₃₆Ag₈Al₈金属玻璃的微观结构对退火温度十分敏感。此外,相分离的形成可以加速纳米晶的形成。

Electron irradiation induced phase transformation in Zr66.7Cu33.3 and Zr66.7Pd33.3 metallic glass

Crystallization and phase selection in Zr_66.7Cu_33.3 and Zr_66.7Pd_33.3 metallic glass during thermal annealing and electron irradiation were examined. During thermal annealing an equilibrium C11_b–Zr₂Cu phase directly precipitated in the amorphous phase of Zr_66.7Cu_33.3 metallic glass while a thermal equilibrium C11_b–Zr₂Pd phase formed after icosahedral quasi-crystalline phase precipitation in Zr_66.7Pd_33.3 metallic glass. The amorphous phase was not stable under electron irradiation and metastable crystalline phases with face-centered cubic-based structure formed in both kinds of metallic glass by electron irradiation induced crystallization. The unique phase selection in electron irradiation induced crystallization is due to a change in the phase stability of crystal, quasi-crystal and amorphous phase under electron irradiation.     

Enhanced glass forming ability and refrigerant capacity of a Gd55Ni22Mn3Al20 bulk metallic glass

In this work, a small amount of Mn was added to a Gd₅₅Ni₂₅Al₂₀ glass forming alloy, as a replacement for Ni, and a Gd₅₅Ni₂₂Mn₃Al₂₀ bulk metallic glass (BMG) was obtained by suction casting. Its glass forming ability (GFA) was characterized by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry, and its magnetic properties were measured using a magnetic property measurement system. It is found that the minor Mn addition can significantly improve both the GFA and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the alloy. The refrigerant capacity (RC) of the BMG can reach a high value of 825 J kg⁻¹ under a field of 3979 kA/m, which is about 29% larger than that of a Gd₅₅Ni₂₅Al₂₀ BMG. The effect of the minor Mn addition on the GFA and MCE of the BMG was investigated in the study.     

Effect of hydrostatic pressure on the decomposition behavior of Cu54Zr22Ti18Ni6 bulk metallic glass alloy in supercooled liquid region

The effect that hydrostatic pressure has on the decomposition behavior in Cu₅₄Ni₆Zr₂₂Ti₁₈ bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloy was assessed using samples, which were isothermally annealed in the supercooled liquid region (SLR) with and without application of hydrostatic pressure. During subsequent annealing for the thermal analysis, the samples annealed under hydrostatic pressure displayed a slower crystallization process in the SLR, which is attributed to a retarded compositional decomposition of the BMG alloy under pressure.

Influence of low-temperature annealing on magnetic properties of (Nd0.625Ni0.375)85Al15 metallic glass

After a review of the selection process of (Nd_0.625Ni_0.375)₈₅Al₁₅ as a metallic glass with a relatively high glass-forming ability, we investigate the influences of its phase transitions by duplicating the heating process of the isochronal thermal analysis with low-temperature annealings. The structure, thermal stability and magnetic properties are characterized. And the influences on magnetic properties are particularly discussed with emphasis. Both the annealing processes, to the glass-transition temperature and to the onset temperature of crystallization, bring about a higher coercivity of the sample and a higher freezing temperature of the spin-glass-state. For the sample annealed to the onset temperature of crystallization, the influence is quite obvious and is ascribed to the formation of ferrimagnetic Nd₇Ni₃ phase, as detected by XRD. For the sample annealed to the glass-transition temperature, the indistinct influence is further identified with the analysis of the frequency dependence of the spin-glass-state, and it is mainly attributed to the change of the short-range order in the amorphous matrix.     

The influence of structural peculiarities of rapidly quenched bands of the Fe76.1Cu1.0Nb3.0Si13.0B6.1 alloy on their electrochemical behavior

X-ray diffraction analysis, auger spectroscopy and electrochemical measurement showed that, by varying the temperature of starting melt, it is possible to change the surface crystallization degree of quenched metallic glass of the Fe_76.1Cu_1.0Nb_3.0Si_13.8B_6.1 composition, while the presence of crystallites of an ordered α-Fe(Si) solid solution and the air-oxide film formed during the quenching of bands allows improving their corrosion-electrochemical characteristics.     

Effect of Na diffusion from glass substrate on the microstructural and photocatalytic properties of post-annealed TiO2 films synthesised by reactive sputtering

Amorphous columnar TiO₂ films were synthesised by reactive sputtering on cold soda–lime glass substrates (TiO₂/glass films). The films were subsequently heated in order to crystallise the photoactive anatase phase. The surface chemical composition assessment demonstrates the occurrence of metallic Na, the amount of which increases with the annealing temperature. The evolution of the structural, microstructural and photocatalytic properties of the films with the annealing temperature was investigated and compared to that of TiO₂ films deposited in same conditions, but on glass pre-coated with a SiN_x diffusion barrier (TiO₂/SiN_x/glass films). Once crystallised, both series of TiO₂ films exhibit [001] preferential orientation corresponding to the columnar growth. Grain coalescence associated to a modification of the grain shape is only observed in TiO₂/glass films for annealing temperatures higher than 450 °C, whereas neither microstructural nor structural change is observed in TiO₂/SiN_x/glass films. The Na-contaminated TiO₂ films exhibit different photocatalytic behaviour with the annealing temperature compared to the Na-free TiO₂ films. A discussion is finally based on these differences.     

Effect of pressure sensitivity index on the deformation behavior of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 metallic glasses

The effect of pressure sensitivity index on the deformation behavior in Zr_41.2Ti_13.8Cu_12.5Ni₁₀Be_22.5 metallic glasses was studied using the indentation tests. The results showed that the intersecting slip lines occurred in the as-cast samples when the metallic glasses was deformed, and their shear band quantity, length, and density decreased with increasing the pressure sensitivity index in the annealed samples. The plastic deformation size of the as-cast sample is higher than that of the annealed samples under all the loads. It is therefore indicated that the pressure sensitivity index can affect strongly the deformation behavior and morphological characteristics of shear band of the metallic glasses.     

Effect of tin on high-temperature sulphidation of Fe-Cr alloys in H2/H2S atmospheres

The high temperature sulphidation behaviour of Fe-46Cr-xSn (x = 0; 0.2; 0.5; 1; 2) alloys has been studied at temperatures of 1073, 1173 and 1273 K in H₂/H₂S mixtures with different sulphur vapour partial pressures of 10⁻¹, 10⁻³ and 10⁻⁵ Pa. Thermogravimetric studies in combination with scanning electron microscope (SEM), with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, have displayed a significant influence of the sulphur partial pressure on the composition and growth rate of the sulphide scale. The results have shown that addition of tin increases the sulphidation rate of Fe-46Cr alloys but not considerably (except at temperatures of 1073 and 1173 K combined with sulphur partial pressure of 10⁻⁵ Pa). The metallic core of the studied samples was enriched in tin and iron, moreover tin was found in the internal layer close to the metallic core as metallic Fe_xSn_y inclusions with tin concentrations of up to 12 at.%.     

Structural and magnetic nanoclusters in Cu50Zr50−xGdx (x = 5 at.%) metallic glasses

It is shown that phase-separated metallic glasses on the nanoscale can be prepared by rapid quenching of Cu₅₀Zr_50−xGd_x melts with a low concentration of gadolinium (x = 5 at.%). Gd-enriched clusters of 2 nm size are formed as early stages of decomposition in the deeply undercooled melt. The key physical parameter to obtaining such a nanoclustered microstructure upon quenching is the critical temperature of liquid-liquid phase separation which has to be close to the glass transition temperature. Thus, the thermodynamic properties of the liquid phase even in the metastable deeply undercooled melt essentially determine the structure formation. Analysis of the spatial atomic arrangement by atom probe tomography after annealing in the supercooled liquid state provides direct evidence of the spinodal character of the decomposition by uphill diffusion. The Gd-enriched nanoclusters exhibit ferromagnetic ordering below 50 K and the cluster size regime derived from magnetization measurements is in good agreement with that obtained from atom probe tomography investigations. The first stage of crystallization of Cu₅₀Zr₄₅Gd₅ glass is observed to be Ostwald-type ripening on a nanoscale. The phase-separated glass acts as a precursor for the formation of a metastable nanocrystalline structure.     

Mechanical relaxations of a (Zr77.5Ti22.5)55(Ni48Cu52)21.25Be23.75 amorphous alloy studied using dynamic mechanical analysis

The dynamic mechanical properties of a (Zr_77.5Ti_22.5)₅₅(Ni₄₈Cu₅₂)_21.25Be_23.75 amorphous alloy were investigated by frequency-dependent elastic moduli and isothermal multi-frequency measurements. The frequency-dependent loss modulus showed a relaxation behavior resulting from a glass transition, and the variation of the peak frequency was related to the Arrhenius equation. Isothermal multi-frequency measurement data were used to construct the master curves of the elastic moduli and tan δ by applying the time-temperature superposition principle. The temperature dependence of the shift factor was found to follow the Arrhenius relationship, and the activation energies for the low temperature relaxation and glass transition were approximately 156.6kJ/mol and 554kJ/mol, respectively. The glass transition temperature (T _g) was manifested by the crossover region of the shift factor dependence, and from the relationship between the shift factors and the temperature aboveT _g), the fragility index of this alloy was estimated.
