Abstract

Amorphous ribbon specimen of (Ni0.75Fe0.25)78Si10B12 has been prepared by a single roller melt-spinning technique in the air atmosphere. The crystallization kinetics of the alloy has been investigated using different thermal analysis by means of continuous heating and isothermal heating. The activation energy of the alloy has been calculated by using Kissinger plot method and Ozawa plot method based on differential thermal analysis data, respectively. The products of crystallization have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction. A single phase of γ-(Fe, Ni) solid solution with grain size of about 10.3 and 18.5nm precipitates in the amorphous matrix after annealing at temperatures 715 and 745K, respectively. The crystallized phases are γ-(Fe, Ni) solid solution, Fe2Si, Ni2Si, Fe3B and unidentified phase after annealing at 765K. The details of nucleation and growth during the isothermal crystallization are expatiated in terms of local Avrami exponent and local activation energy.
