Abstract
The present paper aims to report an effect of a supercooled liquid region on crystallization behaviour of the Al 85Y 8− x Nd x Ni 5Co 2 metallic glasses produced by rapid solidification of the melt. The paper describes the crystallization process at different regimes of heat treatment. It is found that crystallization behaviour of the above-mentioned Al-based metallic glasses above the glass-transition temperature and below it follows different transformation mechanisms. Formation of the primary nanoscale α-Al particles was observed during continuous heating or after isothermal annealing above the glass-transition temperature. During isothermal annealing below the glass-transition temperature an unknown metastable phase is formed conjointly with α-Al. The metastable phase formed in the Nd-free alloy varies from that in the Nd-bearing alloys. Al 85Nd 8Ni 5Co 2 amorphous alloy exhibiting no glass transition crystallizes equally during isothermal calorimetry at different temperatures and during continuous heating.
