Abstract
The change of the specific surface area in porous Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 metallic glass (MG) upon partial crystallization was investigated. The observed increase in the surface area of the annealed Ni-based MG foams is due to the formation of homogeneously distributed Ni10(Zr,Ti)7 rod-shape intermetallic phases with nominal diameters around 250 nm and ∼800 nm length on the surface of MG struts during the crystallization. For longer annealing, the specific surface area decreases again due to a change of the morphology of the crystals from rod-like to disc-like appearance, thus suggesting an optimum regime for increasing the specific surface area upon isothermal annealing at a given temperature.
