Abstract
The ordering in nanocrystalline Fe100−xPtx (x=40, 45, 50, and 55) alloys prepared by mechanical ball milling was studied by neutron powder diffraction during in situ heat treatment and differential scanning calorimetry. Independent of milling time and stoichiometry the onset of ordering is at around 300°C. For alloys with a multilayer-type microstructure an enhanced kinetics of ordering is observed, characterized by an activation energy of 1.03±0.08eV. The transformation to the L10 phase proceeds via a metastable state, which is a mixture of highly ordered L10 and L12 phases. For samples with homogeneous A1 phase, the A1→L10 transformation is characterized by a lower driving force and higher activation energy. For nonequiatomic compositions, the A1→L10 transformation is considerably decelerated.
