Abstract:The low-temperature crystallization behavior of Ni60Nb40 and Nb60Ni40 melt-spun metallic glasses was studied by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and electron microscopy. The results show that the initial crystallization temperatures of Ni60Nb40 and Ni40Nb60 metallic glasses are 913 K and 917 K, respectively, at a constant heating rate of 10 K/min. After annealing at temperatures below initial crystallization temperature, these two metallic glasses crystallize. Ni60Nb40 metallic glass preserves the amorphous state after annealing at 763 K for 48 h, while nanocrystals with face-centered cubic structure forms in the amorphous matrix after annealing at 873 K for 1 h. Nanocrystallization of Nb60Ni40 metallic glass occurs when the sample is annealed at 763 K for 48 h. Scanning transmission electron microscopy analysis gives convincing evidence of composition separation in these nanocrystallized microstructures, and the underlying mechanism was discussed in light of the existence of microstructural and dynamic heterogeneity and the β-relaxation process in fragile metallic glasses.
Key words: Ni60Nb40; Ni40Nb60 metallic glasses; nanocrystallization; thermal stability
