Effect of crystallization on corrosion resistance of Cu52.5Ti30Zr11.5Ni6 bulk amorphous alloy

The effects of crystallization on the corrosion resistance of a Cu52.5Ti30Zr11.5Ni6 bulk amorphous alloy in 1 mol/L HCI, and 6 mol/L NaOH solutions were studied. The amorphous alloy was identified by differential thermal analysis（DSC） and by X-ray diffraction（XRD）. The partially and fully crystallized alloys were prepared by controlling the annealing temperatures at 738 and 873 K for 1 and 12 min, respectively, and the corrosion resistances of those annealed alloys were compared with that of the amorphous alloy by immersion test and potentiodynamic measurements in 1 mol/L HCl and 6 mol/L NaOH solutions. The results show that the partially crystallized alloy exhibits high corrosion resistance, whereas full crystallization results in deteriorated corrosion resistance compared with that of the as-cast amorphous alloy.     

Crystallization behavior of Ti61.67Zr17.15Ni14.80Cu6.38 glass-forming alloy

Ti61.57Zr17.15Ni14.80Cu6.38(atom fraction, %) metallic glass has applications in brazing. Using the hammer-and-anvil technique, Ti61.67Zr17.15Ni14.80Cu6.38 metallic glass was prepared. The crystallization behavior for this metallic glass was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). There are three stages in DSC curves of crystallization. The reduced glass temperature Trg is 0.42. The kinetic parameters of crystallization were calculated by a set of equations of the maximum crystallization rate. The crystalline phase formed in the MSⅠ(Metastable stage D is Zr2Cu, in the MSII is α-Ti and in the MSⅢ is Ti2Ni. This kind of alloy has lower glass forming ability, and the Ti61.67Zr17.15Ni14.80Cu6.38 metallic glass has lower thermal stability.     

Two-way shape memory effect and alternating current driving characteristics of a TiNi alloy spring

Two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) was induced into the TiNi shape memory alloys (SMAs) spring by thermomechanical training after annealing treatment, which has promising application in micro-actuating fields. The TWSME spring can contract upon heating and extend upon cooling. The results show that there is an increase of the recovery ratio up to a maximum TWSME of 45%. During the training procedure, transformation temperatures and hysteresis were measured by different scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that As (reverse transformation start temperature) and Af (reverse transformation fmish temperature) shift to lower temperature after training. The intervals of ArAs and Ms-Mf (Ms and Mf are the martensite start and finish temperatures, respectively) increase and the heat of transformation decreases after training. The electrothermal driving characteristics of the TWSME springs were also investigated with alternating current density of 3.2-14.7A/mm^2. It is found that the time response and the maximum contraction ratio greatly depend on the magnitude of the electrical current density.

Deformation of Zr41Ti14 Cu12. 5Ni10Be22.5 bulk amorphous alloy under isobaric pressure in super-cooled liquid region

The curve of crystallization transition during continuous heating for the Zr41Ti14 Cu12. 5Ni10Be22.5 bulk amorphous alloy was measured by means of dilatation(Fully automatic transformation recording/measuring instrument) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) method. The deformation behavior of the alloy at various heating rates in the supercooled liquid region was studied. The results show that the glass transition temperature of the alloy increases slightly and the supercooled liquid region(SLR) increases significantly with increasing heating rate. The deformation amount under isobaric pressure of 1 N for the alloy in the SLR increases with increasing heating rate. As the heating rate of the alloy increases from 5 to 100℃/rain, the amount of deformation of the alloy increases from 8.3% to 45%

Ni–P coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy and its crystallization

Amorphous Ni-P coating was plated on AZ31 magnesium alloy via the electroless plating technique, and the plated alloy was subsequently annealed. X-ray dif- fraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）, and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） were used to characterize the coating. The results show that the hardness of the coating is much higher than that of bare magnesium alloy, which further increases after crystallization. The electrochemical polarization and salt spray tests show that the coating exhibits a much higher corrosion resistance than that of the bare magnesium alloy. Moreover, the crystallized coating still exhibits a much stronger corrosion resistance than that of the bare magnesium alloy, although its corrosion resistance is lower than that of the as-plated one.     

Oxidation behavior of a Zr–Cu–Al–Ni amorphous alloy in air at 300–425 °C

The oxidation behavior of Zr–30Cu–10Al–5Ni bulk metallic glass and its crystalline counterpart was studied over the temperature range of 300–425 °C in dry air. In general, the oxidation kinetics of both amorphous and crystalline alloys followed a two- or three-stage parabolic rate law at T⩾350 °C, while at 300 °C the amorphous alloy oxidized following a linear behavior. The oxidation rate constants for the amorphous alloy are slightly higher than those for the crystalline alloy at 350–400 °C. The scale formed on the amorphous alloy consists of mainly tetragonal-ZrO₂ at 300 °C, while a mixture of monoclinic-ZrO₂ (m-ZrO₂) and tetragonal-ZrO₂ (t-ZrO₂) and some CuO were detected at higher temperatures. The scale formed on the crystalline alloy, on the other hand, consists of mainly Al₂O₃, some tetragonal-ZrO₂, and a slight amount of monoclinic-ZrO₂ at 300 °C. At higher temperatures, the crystalline alloy consists of mainly monoclinic-ZrO₂, some CuO and Cu₂O, and limited tetragonal-ZrO₂. It is suggested that the formation of Al₂O₃ (at 300 °C) and CuO/Cu₂O (at 350-400 °C) on the crystalline alloy is responsible for the reduced oxidation rates as compared with those of amorphous alloy.     

Phase transformation behavior of a TiNiCu shape memory alloy electrolytically charged with hydrogen

The transformation behavior of a TiNiCu shape memory alloy electrolyticaUy charged with hydrogen was investigated by means of different scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscope and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that inter- and inner-granular hydrides formed after charging with hydrogen, and the hydrides suppressed martensitic transformation. The electrolyticaUy charged hydrogen can be easily released by heat treatment and the transformation occurred again, which was verified by the DSC and XRD experiments.
