Synthesizing and Characterizing of a Novel Zr90Ni6Pd4 Bulk Metallic Glassy Alloy Obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering of Mechanically Alloyed Powders
Author(s): El-Eskandarany MSEl-Eskandarany MS
A single phase of metallic glassy Zr90Ni6Pd4 powders was synthesized by mechanical alloying approach of the elemental powders, using a low-energy ball mill. The solid-solution hcp-ZrNiPd phase obtained after 25 h of the milling time transformed into a single amorphous phase upon ball milling for 100 h to 150 h. This synthesized amorphous alloy transformed into a metallic-glass at a glass transition temperature of 552.8°C. A small volume fraction of this glassy phase transformed into a mixture of two metastable phases of i-phase + big-cube upon annealing at 649.1°C. The supercooled liquid region of the metallic glassy Zr90Ni6Pd4 alloy powders was 69.7°C. A complete crystallization was achieved at a temperature ranged from 649.1°C to 682.2°C through a sharp exothermic reaction with an enthalpy change of crystallization of -76.3 J/g. After this temperature, the formed.. Read More»
