The microstructure evolution in the course of crystallization of a splat-quenched Fe 73,5Si 13.5B 9Nb 3Cu 1 amorphous alloy was investigated by atom probe field ion microscopy (APFIM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). All the alloying elements were found to be distributed homogeneously as an amorphous solid solution in the as-quenched state. At an initial stage of annealing, a concentration fluctuation of Cu was found to occur. Cu formed clusters of a few nanometer diameter and their composition was found to be approximately 30 at.% Cu at the beginning. In the later stage, a b.c.c. FeSi solid solution and the B and Nb enriched amorphous phase with the smaller Si content were found to coexist. In addition to these two phases, Cu enriched particles containing approximately 60 at.% Cu were found to be present in the intergranular regions, although we were not successful yet to determine whether this was a crystalline or amorphous phase. Based on these observations, we discuss the crystallization process of this alloy at 550°C which leads to the emergence of excellent soft magnetic properties. 相似文献

The mechanism of impact fracture of soft magnetic amorphous alloy Fe 73.5Cu 1Nb 3Si 13.5B 9 ribbons in a disintegrator after heat treatment at a temperature from the range 300–700°C and the fractional composition of the formed powder are studied. The temperature ranges of a change in the mechanism of ribbon fracture are determined. The particle size distribution is shown to change weakly within the revealed temperature ranges. 相似文献

Vickers microhardness, nanohardness, tension tests, notch and fatigue precrack toughness tests, and controlled monotonic and cyclic strain experiments via bending over mandrels of different diameter have been performed on two different chemistries of Fe-based (Fe-Si-B) metallic glass ribbons. The tensile strengths of Fe 73.5Cu 1Nb 3Si 13.5B 9 were 2000?±?100?MPa and 1640?±?35?MPa for Fe 78Si 9B 13, which is consistent with the microhardness trends. High notch toughness ( e.g., 89?±?0.9?MPam 1/2 - Fe 73.5Cu 1Nb 3Si 13.5B 9; 94.5?±?5.5?MPam 1/2 - Fe 78Si 9B 13) and fatigue precracked toughness of 76?MPam 1/2 for the Fe 73.5Cu 1Nb 3Si 13.5B 9 and 80?MPam 1/2 for the Fe 78Si 9B 13 were obtained. Flex-bending cyclic fatigue tests revealed a fatigue limit of 385?MPa for Fe 78Si 9B 13 ribbons, whereas the more brittle behavior of the Fe 73.5Cu 1Nb 3Si 13.5B 9 ribbons prevented the generation of flex-bending fatigue data. These results are discussed in the light of recent work on metallic glass systems. 相似文献

A combination of thermogravimetry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and differential scanning calorimetry has been used to investigate the oxidation kinetics, and oxide morphology, structure and composition in amorphous and crystalline Fe 78Si 9B 13 alloys. Kinetic data indicate that the oxidation reactions of both amorphous and crystalline Fe 78Si 9B 13 obey a parabolic rate law over the temperature range 300 to 450°C with activation energies of 120 and 86 kJ/mol respectively, indicating that grain boundary diffusion is probably the rate controlling process. The parabolic rate constant for oxidation of crystalline Fe 78Si 9B 13 is consistently higher than for amorphous Fe 78Si 9B 13 over the temperature range 300–450°C, so that the amorphous alloy always shows a better oxidation resistance. Electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis show that the oxide scales formed on both amorphous and crystalline Fe 78Si 9B 13 consist of SiO 2, Fe 3O 4 and Fe 2O 3, but the detailed microstructure and compositions are different. The oxide scale formed on amorphous Fe 78Si 9B 13 contains more SiO 2 and has a small particle size, while the oxide scale formed on crystalline Fe 78Si 9B 13 contains more Fe 3O 4 and consists of larger particles. The difference in oxide growth between amorphous and crystalline Fe 78Si 9B 13 is caused by the difference in alloy microstructure. 相似文献

The electrochemical behavior of amorphous and nanocrystalline soft magnetic Fe 79P 13Si 5V 3 alloy in a 0.1 M Na 2SO 4 solution has been studied. Mössbauer studies show that the electrochemical characteristics of the alloy are comparable with those of an Finemet Fe 77Si 13B 7Nb 2.1Cu 0.9 alloy, whereas the studied alloy is inexpensive and can be prepared using natural alloy ferrophosphorus containing vanadium and silicon. 相似文献

The influence of microstructure, and its changes, on microhardness of the amorphous Fe 81Si 4B 13C 2 alloy after thermal treatment at different temperatures from 298 K to 973 K (25 °C to 700 °C) was studied. The as-prepared
alloy ribbon containing a small amount of crystalline phases, as well as domains of short-range crystalline ordering embedded
in the amorphous matrix, exhibits unexpectedly high microhardness, mostly due to its composition. After thermal treatment
above 723 K (450 °C), the alloy samples begin to crystallize, creating a nanocomposite structure involving nanocrystals embedded
in an amorphous matrix, leading to an increase in microhardness. Further growth of the nanocrystals, as the heating temperature
was increased to 973 K (700 °C), caused the change from nanocomposite structure into a more granulated and porous structure,
with a dominant type of interface changing from amorphous/crystal to crystal/crystal, leading to a decrease in microhardness. 相似文献

The transformation of the initial structure (cubic quasicrystal) of the Fe 60Co 15Nb 6Si 15B 4 (at %) alloy during severe torsion deformation under a high quasi-hydrostatic pressure is studied. It is found that, at the first stage, a substantially misoriented and fragmented structure forms without changes in the phase composition; at the final stage, the structure consists of a mixture of an amorphous phase and bcc α-Fe-based nanocrystals. The results are compared to the changes in the alloy structure under action of severe deformation of another type, namely, milling. The role of compressive stresses in structure formation is discussed. 相似文献

A combination of thermogravimetry, optical microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and differential scanning calorimetry has been used to investigate the oxidation behaviour of amorphous Fe 40Ni 40P 14B 6. The oxide layer formed on amorphous Fe 40Ni 40uB 6 has a whisker-like α-Fe 2O3 structure, which grows very rapidly to build up a thick layer of oxide. Kinetic data indicate that the oxidation of amorphous Fe 40Ni 40P 14B 6 obeys a parabolic rate law as long as the alloy remains amorphous and the rate controlling process is diffusion of iron in the amorphous alloy matrix. However, the oxidation rate drops sharply if crystallization of amorphous Fe 40Ni 40P 14B 6 takes place during oxidation annealing. Crystalline Fe 40Ni 40P 14B 6 also obeys a parabolic rate law but with as much smaller rate constant than the amorphous alloy. The rate controlling process for oxidation of crystalline Fe 40Ni 40P 14B 6 is diffusion of iron and nickel in the multiphase oxide layer, which consists of a fine scale mixture of NiO, Fe 3O 4, Fe 2O 3 and NiFe 2O 4, crystals. The difference in oxidation behaviour between amorphous and crystallized Fe 40Ni 40P 14B 6 is caused by the different alloy microstructures. 相似文献

Precipitation of the Fe 2Nb intermetallic compound has previously been found to cause substantial hardening during aging of Fe rich Fe-Nb alloys. However,
the formation of a wide precipitate free zone adjacent to the grain boundaries caused a degradation of creep resistance. In
an effort to decrease the precipitate free zone width, thereby improving the creep resistance, an extensive study was made
of the precipitation behavior of an Fe-1.7 at. pct Nb(Cb) alloy quenched from the δ-phase field. The quenched alloy was found
to decompose via a two step reaction during aging at temperatures below 550°C. The first step in the decomposition reaction
is thought to occur by clustering of Nb atoms in the ferrite matrix, similar to the clustering of Mo atoms which is known
to occur during aging of Fe-Mo alloys. The second step in the reaction is not well understood. The precipitate free zones
were formed by solute depletion in the vicinity of the grain boundary and the subsequent difficulty of nucleation of the Fe 2Nb precipitates in the regions of lowered solute concentration. Using two step aging treatments, an initial low temperature
step to develop the Nb atom clusters followed by a higher temperature step to cause Fe 2Nb precipitation, the precipitate free zones were eliminated from the aged alloys. The origin of this effect is thought to
be the heterogeneous nucleation of Fe 2Nb precipitates on the clusters developed during the initial aging step. 相似文献

A novel approach is suggested, using laser-induced shock wave measurements to estimate the effects of cathodic hydrogen charging
on the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of materials. This approach is applied to (1) determine the dominant
mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in an amorphous Fe 80B 11Si 9 alloy; and (2) estimate the effects of the high pressures involved in cathodic charging. The dynamic spall strength of an
amorphous Fe 80B 11Si 9 alloy shocked before and after hydrogenation by a high-power laser to very high pressures (tens of giga Pascals) is measured.
The dynamic spall strength of crystalline iron is measured as well for comparison. An optically recording velocity interferometer
system (ORVIS) is used to measure the profile of the free surface velocity in time. The spall strength and the strain rate
are calculated from the measurement of the free surface velocity as a function of time. Fracture characteristics are studied
by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The main conclusions are (1) the most reasonable mechanism of HE in the amorphous Fe-Si-B
alloy is the high-pressure bubble formation; (2) the high pressures involved in cathodic hydrogen charging or laser-induced
shock waves measurements may have similar effects on fracture characteristics; and (3) at very high strain rates, the spall
strength is determined mainly by the interatomic bonds. 相似文献

Thermal treatment of amorphous Fe 75Ni 2Si 8B 13C 2 alloy leads to crystallization of the stable ??-Fe(Si) and Fe 2B as well as to the metastable Fe 3B phase. The study of the mechanism of crystal growth of the ??-Fe(Si) phase revealed that the mechanism of ??-Fe(Si) growth changes from two dimensional in the early stage to one dimensional in the later stage of crystallization. The Fe 2B phase was found to crystallize through two independent routes: from the amorphous phase and from the metastable Fe 3B phase, which leads to a different mechanism of crystal growth for each route. Both routes exhibit a change in the mechanism of crystal growth: from two dimensional to one dimensional and from three dimensional to two dimensional, respectively. The respective mechanisms of crystal growth correlate well with the observed changes in preferential orientation of the crystallites of the Fe 2B phase. 相似文献

Amorphous wires with high strength and good ductility have been produced in Fe-Si-B alloy system by the modified melt-spinning
technique in which a melt stream is ejected into a rotating water layer. These wires have a circular cross section and smooth
peripheral surface. The diameter is in the range of about 0.07 to 0.27 mm. Their Vickers hardness (H v) and tensile strength (σ f) increase with silicon and boron content and reach 1100 DPN and 3920 MPa, respectively, for Fe 70Si 10B 20, exceeding the values of heavily cold-drawn steel wires. Fracture elongation (ε
f
), including elastic elongation, is about 2.1 to 2.8 pct. An appropriate cold drawing results in the increase of σ f and ε f by about eight and 65 pct, respectively. This increase is interpreted to result from an interaction among crossing deformation
bands introduced by cold drawing. The undrawn and drawn amorphous wires are so ductile that no cracks are observed, even after
closely contacted bending. Further, it is demonstrated that the σ f of the Fe 75Si 10B l5 amorphous wire increases by the replacement of iron with a small amount of tantalum, niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, or chromium
without detriment to the formation tendency of an amorphous wire. Such iron-based amorphous wires are attractive as fine gauge,
high strength materials because of their uniform shape and superior mechanical qualities. 相似文献

An amorphous ribbon of Pd 80Si 20 alloy was directionally crystallized under an imposed temperature gradient of 25 K/mm with a growth velocity of 0.0785 mm/s,
and the structure of the crystalline/amorphous interface was investigated by conventional and high-resolution transmission
electron microscopy (TEM). Under these conditions, the amorphous Pd 80Si 20 crystallizes into a broken-lamellar eutectic of the Pd 3Si and Pd 9Si 2 equilibrium phases. The Pd 3Si phase is faceted and grows along the [010] direction by nucleation and propagation of unit-cell ledges parallel to the
(010) terrace plane. The Pd 9Si 2 phase is largely coherent with Pd 3Si and grows along a high-index crystallographic direction. Microscopic facets were not observed on the Pd 9Si 2 phase either by conventional or high-resolution TEM, indicating that its crystalline/ amorphous interface is comparatively
rough. These observations are related to the crystallography and interphase boundary (IPB) energies of the phases and discussed
in terms of mechanisms of lamellar growth.

base made of K17N9M14 maraging steel covered with a surface layer made from a Co 69Fe 4Cr 4Si 12B 11 amorphous alloy. As compared to its components, this material has a substantially better set of the mechanical properties. 相似文献

Hydrogen absorption in and desorption from an amorphous Fe 80B 11Si 9 alloy, hydrogen effects on the microstructure of this alloy, and the possible mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in
this alloy have been studied. Ribbons were electrochemically charged with hydrogen at room temperature. The interaction of
hydrogen with structural defects and the characteristics of hydrogen desorption were studied by means of thermal desorption
spectroscopy (TDS). The effects of hydrogen on the microstructure and thermal stability were studied using X-ray diffraction
(XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electrical resistivity measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry
(DSC). The phenomenon of HE was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and various mechanical testing techniques.
The absence of hydride-forming elements resulted in low hydrogen solubility and low desorption temperatures. Hydrogenation
at room temperature is reported for the first time to lead to either local nanocrystallization of the amorphous phase or transformation
of nanocrystalline phases such as Fe ∼3.5B, originally present in the uncharged material, to a new nanocrystalline Fe 23B 6 phase. The susceptibility of this alloy to HE is explained in terms of high-pressure bubble formation. 相似文献

The influence of alloying additions on the microstructure, mechanical, and magnetic properties of bulk Fe79B20Cu1, Fe79B16Ti4Cu1, Fe79B16Mo4Cu1 and Fe79B16Mn4Cu1 (at. pct) alloys was investigated. Nanocrystalline samples in the form of 3 mm rods were prepared directly by suction casting without additional heat treatment. Mössbauer spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies confirmed that the investigated alloys consist α-Fe and Fe2B nanograins embedded in an amorphous matrix. The addition of alloying elements, such as Ti, Mo and Mn to Fe79B20Cu1 alloy increases the amount of amorphous phase and decreases the presence of Fe2B phase in all examined alloys. The mechanical properties of the samples, such as hardness, elastic modulus, and elastic energy ratio, were analysed by an instrumented indentation technique performed on a 12 × 12 nanoindentation grid. These tests allowed to characterise the mechanical properties of the regions observed in the same material. For the Fe79B20Cu1 alloy, the hardness of 1508 and 1999 HV, as well as Young’s modulus of 287 and 308 GPa, were estimated for the amorphous- and nanocrystalline-rich phase, respectively. The addition of Ti, Mo, and Mn atoms leads to a decrease in both hardness and elastic modulus for all regions in the investigated samples. Investigations of thermomagnetic characteristics show the soft magnetic properties of the studied materials. More detailed studies of magnetisation versus magnetic field curves for the Fe79B20−xMxCu1 (where x = 0 or 4; M = Ti, Mo, Mn) alloy, recorded in a wide range of temperatures, followed by the law of approach to magnetic saturation revealed the relationship between microstructure and magneto-mechanical properties. 相似文献

Changes in various properties with annealing of amorphous alloys have been widely studied by many researchers. The present
work examines the annealing treatment dependence of mechanical, relaxation, thermal, and magnetic properties and behaviors
in light of sample microstructure, as determined by TEM. The experimental results show that both the onset of embrittlement
and the change in DC coercive field with sample annealing are consistent with microstructural development. An interrelationship
among the various experimental measurements and observations is advanced as a unifying construct of the annealing treatment
dependence of various properties in Fe 78B 13Si 9 amorphous alloy. 相似文献

Two iron-based metallic glasses, Fe 78Si 10B 12 and Fe 72Si 10B 18, have been examined in detail after partial crystallization at a series of temperatures. The number and size of the eutectic cells—of both stable and metastable eutectics—have been determined as functions of time and temperature and the results compared with theoretical nucleation models. It has been found that the extent to which quenched-in nuclei from the original planar flow casting operation influence the subsequent crystallization behaviour depends on alloy composition and on the annealing temperature. The results indicate that it is possible to control the type, number and size of the crystallization products in the microstructure by suitable choice of annealing conditions. 相似文献

The study of the electrochemical behavior of a soft magnetic amorphous Fe–P–Mo alloy in a 0.1M Na 2SO 4 solution, which simulates a damp SO 2-contaminated atmosphere, shows that the corrosion resistance of the nanocrystalline Fe 80.2P 17.1Mo 2.7 alloy is comparable to that of a FINEMET alloy. No molybdenum is required for manufacturing the Fe 80.2P 17.1Mo 2.7 alloy, because it can be prepared using natural alloy ferrophosphorus containing molybdenum. 相似文献

The influence of a high-pressure torsion deformation (HPTD) and subsequent annealing on the magnetic properties and phase transformations in the melt-spun Nd 9Fe 85B 6 alloy has been investigated. Because of the low density of nucleation centers and formation of the metastable NdFe 7 and Nd 2Fe 23B 3 phases, the crystallization of the nearly amorphous ribbons leads to the non-uniform and coarse Nd 2Fe 14B grains resulting in the lower values of the coercivity Hc and remanence Br. The HPTD prior to annealing creates numerous α-Fe nanograins, which apparently serve as nucleation sites for Nd 2Fe 14B. In the ribbons subjected HPTD and annealed at 600 °C, the α-Fe and Nd 2Fe 14B grains are uniform and fine (13 and 22 nm, respectively) leading to the increase of Hc by 23% and the increase of Br by 16%. Thus, HPTD is a powerful tool for improvement of the magnetic hysteresis properties in the overquenched Nd 9Fe 85B 6. 相似文献
