Abstract
Based on the construction of TTT diagrams by isothermal DSC measurements, the thermal stabilities of Zr 65Cu 27.5Al 7.5 glassy alloys containing 0.68% and 0.06% [O] (molar fraction) were compared. The changing tendencies of the thermal stabilities reflected in the TTT-diagrams were validated by XRD analyses and TEM observations. The crystallization kinetic characteristics of oxygen-induced I-phase and Zr 2Cu phase in Zr 65Cu 27.5Al 7.5 glassy alloy were discussed. It is found that oxygen promotes the precipitation of I-phase and retards the formation of Zr 2Cu phase. If the pre-crystallization event for oxygen-induced I-phase is permitted and the main-crystallization event for Zr 2Cu phase is taken as the thermal stability criterion, the alloy with higher oxygen content has longer onset time for crystallization within a rather large supercooling temperature range. The possibility for the preparation of Zr 65Cu 27.5Al 7.5 glassy alloy-based composite containing oxygen-induced I-phase was also forecasted.
