Stability of amorphous Al90TMxCe10—x（TM=Fe or Ni） alloys

X-ray diffraction(XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) were used to investigate the crystallization process of amorphous Al90TMxCe10-x (atom fraction in%;TM=Fe or Ni;x=3,5)alloys,Aging effects were examined by X-ray diffraction,The structure corresponding to the prepeak for the amorphous Al90Fe5Ce5 alloy is more stble than the amorphous matrix,but it is not stable for amorphous Al90Ni5Ce5 alloy during the first crystallization stage and even decomposes at room temperature,Although both Al-Ni and Al-Fe have strong chemical bonding,the cyrstallization onset temperature of amorphous Al-Fe-Ce alloys is much higher than that of amorphous Al-Ni-Ce alloys,which is likely caused by the different stability of the structure corresponding to the prepeak.The crystallization onset temperature increases as Ce/Ni ratio increases in amporphous Al90NixCe10-x alloys,whereas it decreases as Ce/Fe ratio increases in amorphous Al90FexCe10-x alloys.A better atomic packing produces as Ce content increases because of the size mismatch in Al-Ni-Ce systems and as Fe content increases because of the increasing Fe central structural units.

Microstructures and magnetic properties of Fe84 Nb7 B9, Fe80 Ti8 B12 and Fe32 Ni36 (Nb/Ⅴ) 7 Si8 B17 powders and their bulk alloys prepared by mechanical alloying(MA) method and hot-press sintering were studied. The results show that: 1) After MA for 20 h, nanocrystalline bcc single phase supersaturated solid solution forms in Fe84-Nb7 B9 and Fe8o Ti8 B12 alloys, amorphous structure forms in Fe32 Ni36 Nb7 Si8 B17 alloy, duplex microstructure composed of nanocrystalline γ-(FeNi) supersaturated solid solution and trace content of Fe2B phase forms in Fe32 Ni36-V7 Si8 B17 alloy. 2) The decomposition process of supersaturated solid solution phases in Fe84 Nb7 B9 and Fe80 Ti8 B12alloys happens at 710 -780 ℃, crystallization reaction in Fe32 Ni36 Nb7 Si8 B17 alloy happens at 530 ℃ (the temperature of peak value) and residual amorphous crystallized further happens at 760 ℃ (the temperature of peak value), phase decomposition process of supersaturated solid solution at 780 ℃ (the temperature of peak value) and crystallization reaction at 431 ℃ (the temperature of peak value) happens in Fe32 Ni36 V7Si8B17 alloy. 3) under 900 ℃, 30 MPa,0.5 h hot-press sintering conditions, bulk alloys with high relative density(94.7%- 95.8%) can be obtained. Except that the grain size of Fe84 Nb7B9 bulk alloy is large, superfine grains (grain size 50 - 200 nm) are obtained in other alloys. Except that single phase microstructure is obtained in Fe80 Ti8B12 bulk alloy, multi-phase microstructures are obtained in other alloys. 4) The magnetic properties of Fe80 Ti8 B12 bulk alloy(Bs = 1.74 T, Hc = 4.35 kA/m) are significantly superior to those of other bulk alloys, which is related to the different phases of nanocrystalline or amorphous powder formed during hot-press sintering process and grain size.

Synthesis and grain growth kinetics of in-situ FeAl matrix nanocomposites（ Ⅰ ）： Mechanical alloying of Fe-A1-Ti-B composite powder

Three nanocrystalline alloys, FesoAlso, Fe42.5Al42.5Ti5B10 and Fe35Al35Ti10B20 （molar fraction, %）, were synthesized from elemental powders by high-energy ball milling. The structural evolutions and morphological changes of the milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffractometry（XRD）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM） and scanning electron microscopy（SEM）. The effects of different Ti, B additions on the structure and phase transformation in these alloys were also discussed. It is observed that the diffusion of AI, Ti, B atoms into Fe lattice occurs during milling, leading to the formation of a BCC phase identified as Fe（Al） or Fe（Al, Ti, B） supersaturated solid solution. Fe-based solid solution with nanocrystalline structure is observed to be present as the only phase in all the alloy compositions after milling. Furthermore, the contents of Ti, B affect the formation of mechanical alloying products, changes in the lattice parameter as well as the grain size.

This work aims to investigate the effects of high magnetic field annealing (HMFA) on the precipitation of α-Fe from Fe84-xSi4B12+x (x =1,3) amorphous precursors.Isothermal annealing process for Fe81Si4B15 and Fe83Si4B13 amorphous ribbons has been performed with and without the magnetic field.The magnetic field shows the effects of increasing the nucleation rate and decreasing the grain size of α-Fe crystals simultaneously,during the crystallization processes of the investigated amorphous alloys.By applying HMF,α-Fe crystals with more homogeneous distribution and smaller grain size are achieved in the amorphous matrix,which is crucial helpful to improve the magnetic properties for Fe-Si-B amorphous alloys.The mechanism of HMFA affecting the crystallization microstructure is also discussed in the present work.
