Rapidly Solidified

ABSTRACTRapidly solidified (RS) Ti alloys containing novel additives were prepared by splat quenching and melt spinning techniques. Microstructures of the as-quenched and heat-treated alloys were studied by electron microscopies. The results show that microstructural refinement and precipitation reaction are universal phenomena in all RS Ti alloys. A significant difference in second phase coarsening was observed between metalloid-origin precipitates and those of rare earth-origin. The precipitates in a Ti-Al-La(Ce) were identified predominantly as rare earth-Al compounds. Exce llent stability for rare earth-origin precipitates was found.Except for a carbon-containing alloy (700 ° C), age hardening behavior is a universal phenomenon in all RS Ti alloys with additives. A significant strength increase (hardness) in the RS alloy was noted at both room and elevated temperatures.

Rapidly Solidified

The discovery of a new class of permanent magnets based on Nd2Fe14B phase in the last decade has led to intense research and development efforts aimed at commercial exploitation of the new alloy. The material can be prepared either by rapid solidification or by powder metallurgy techniques and the resulting microstructures are very different. This paper details the microstructure of Nd-Fe-B magnets produced by melt-spinning.In melt spinning, quench rate can be varied easily by changing the rate of rotation of the quench wheel. There is an optimum quench rate when the material shows maximum magnetic hardening. For faster or slower quench rates, both coercivity and maximum energy product of the material fall off. These results can be directly related to the changes in the microstructure of the melt-spun ribbon as a function of quench rate. Figure 1 shows the microstructure of (a) an overquenched and (b) an optimally quenched ribbon. In Fig. 1(a), the material is nearly amorphous, with small nuclei of Nd2Fe14B grains visible and in Fig. 1(b) the microstructure consists of equiaxed Nd2Fe14B grains surrounded by a thin noncrystalline Nd-rich phase. Fig. 1(c) shows an annular dark field image of the intergranular phase. Nd enrichment in this phase is shown in the EDX spectra in Fig. 2.

Melt Spinning Technique

Tin-bismuth alloy ribbons were produced using melt-spinning technique. The two main surfaces (in contact with the rotating wheel and exposed to the air) were characterized with Optical Microscopy and AFM, revealing that the surface exposed to the air is duller (due to a long-range heterogeneity) than the opposite surface. Also the XPS chemical composition revealed many differences between them both on the corrosion extension and on the total relative amounts of tin and bismuth. For instance, for the specific case of an alloy with a composition Bi-4 wt % Sn, the XPS atomic ratios Sn/Bi are 1.1 and 3.7 for the surface in contact with the rotating wheel and for the one exposed to air, respectively, showing, additionally, that a large segregation of tin at the surface exists (nominal ratio should be 0.073). This segregation was interpreted as the result of the electrochemical process yielding the corrosion products.

The structure of a series of AlSb alloys prepared by melt spinning have been studied in the as melt–spun ribbons  as a function of antimony content .The stability  of these structures has  been  related to that of the transport and mechanical properties of the alloy ribbons. Microstructural analysis was performed and it was found that only Al and AlSb phases formed for different composition.  The electrical, thermal and the stability of the mechanical properties are related indirectly through the influence of the antimony content. The results are interpreted in terms of the phase change occurring to alloy system. Electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, elastic moduli and the values of microhardness are found to be more sensitive than the internal friction to the phase changes.

ABSTRACTMechanical alloying and rapid solidification are two important routes to obtain glassy alloys. New Fe-Ni based metal-metalloid (P-Si) alloys prepared by these two different processing routes were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mechanical alloyed samples were prepared with elemental precursors, and different nominal compositions. Rapidly solidified alloys were obtained by melt-spinning. The structural analyses show that, independent of the composition, the materials obtained by mechanical alloying are not completely disordered whereas fully amorphous alloys were obtained by rapid solidification. Consequently, the thermal stability of mechanically alloyed samples is lower than that of the analogous material prepared by rapid solidification. The P/Si ratio controls the magnetic interaction of the glassy ribbons obtained by rapid solidification. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the degree of amorphization and crystallization versus processing route and P/Si ratio content.

Rapidly Solidified

ABSTRACTRapidly solidified ribbons of Cu-Fe alloys with iron contents up to 20 at.−% have been prepared by melt-spinning. Optical and electron microscopy as well as x-ray and electron diffraction techniques were used to characterize quantitatively the microstructure, i.e., grain size and shape, solubility of iron, lattice parameter, volume fraction and distribution of precipitated iron-particles, etc.Whereas the free surfaces of melt-spun Cu-Fe ribbons have been found to be very smooth, the contact surfaces usually consist of isolated areas of good thermal contact with small equiaxed grains separated by bands without contact during casting and therefore poor heat transfer. The cross sections of the ribbons generally exhibit a strong anisotropy in their microstructure: very fine crystals adjacent to the contact surface develop into narrow columnar grains, generally significantly elongated and extending across the whole section. The average columnar width of the grains has been found to decrease significantly with increasing iron content. Precipitation of iron not only depends on the iron content but also on the distance from the contact surface.

A15 Phase

Alloys of Nb73Al12Si14.5B0.5 were rapidly solidified into amorphous ribbons using the melt spinning technique. These were isothermally annealed at temperatures ranging from 660 to 780 °C. The A15 phase began to crystallize at 700 °C and small amounts of second phases appeared at the higher temperatures. Crystallization was dependent on quenching rate as well as annealing conditions. Below 750 °C nucleation was nonuniform and was enhanced by surfaces and quenched-in nuclei. Above 750 °C nucleation became more uniform and completely crystalline ribbons with equiaxed grains ∼30 nm in diameter were obtained. These ultra fine grained ribbons had extremely high superconducting critical current densities of 8 × 1010 A/m2 and 5 × 1010 A/m2 at magnetic fields of 0.5 and 15 tesla, respectively, at 4.2 K.

The aim of the present work was to compare microstructures and mechanical properties of nano-Al alloys fabricated by two different methods: (i) SPD induced grain refinement, (ii) plastic consolidation of nano-powders or nano-crystalline ribbons. SPD grain refinement has been implemented by hydrostatic extrusion, HE. The ribbons were rapidly solidified using a melt spinning methods. Plastic consolidation of powder and ribbons was conducted by warm extrusion. The results of the studies show that by applying various fabrication routes for a given chemical composition, diverse nano-structures can be obtained, which differ in terms of grain size and shape, grain boundary character and dislocation density. As a result, the alloys also differ significantly in the mechanical properties. The findings are discussed in terms of the possibilities for optimizing properties of the bulk-nano-metals.

Abstract The aim of the present work was to plan and carry out an experiment consisting of amorphization of industrial magnesium alloy WE 43 (Mg - 4 Y - 3 RE - 0.5 Zr) modified by the copper addition. Investigated alloy modified with 20% of copper was rapidly quenched with the use of melt spinning technique. The effects of cooling rate on the structure and properties of the obtained material were extensively analyzed. The structure and phase analysis of samples were examined using X-ray diffraction method (XRD) while the thermal stability of the samples was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Microstructure observations were also conducted. The microhardness tests (HV0.02) and corrosion resistance tests were carried out to investigate the properties of the material. Corrosion resistance measurements were held using a typical three-electrode system. As the result of the research, the effect of cooling rate on microstructure and properties of investigated alloy was determined.
