The nanocrystallization kinetics of the Fe81Si3.5B13.5C2amorphous alloy was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The apparent activation energy Ea, as well as the nucleation and growth kinetic parameters has been calculated by Kissinger and Ozawa methods. The changeable activation energy Eawith crystalline fraction α was obtained by the expended Friedman method without assuming the kinetic model function, and the average value of Eawas 364±20 kJ/mol. It was shown that the crystallization mechanism of initial stage (0<α<0.7) of the transformation was bulk crystallization with two and three dimensional nucleation graining growth which was controlled by diffusion. For the middle stage (0.7<α<0.9), the crystallization mechanism is surface crystallization with one dimensional nucleation graining growth at a near-zero nucleation rate. In the final stage(α>0.9),the local Avrami exponents rose anomalously from 1.4 to about 2.0.

A new ternary Ti-based amorphous alloy, Ti50Fe25Ni25, is prepared by the mechanical alloying. The milling is performed in a high-energy planetary ball mill under argon atmosphere. Fully Ti50Fe25Ni25amorphous alloy powder is obtained after milled 160h. The milling speed is 300rpm and the weighs ratio of ball to powder is 10:1. The structural features are studied by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscope, and the thermal stability is investigated by a differential scanning calorimeter. The super-cooled liquid region of the amorphous alloy increases from 98K to 119K as the heating rate increasing from 10K/min to 40K/min. The effective activation energy of crystallization is estimated with modified Kissinger’s plot. The initial crystallization activation energyEx1and the first crystallization peakEp1are 155.9KJ/mol and 188.5KJ/mol, respectively.

The uncertainties inherent to experimental differential scanning calorimetric data are evaluated. A new procedure is developed to perform the kinetic analysis of continuous heating calorimetric data when the heat capacity of the sample changes during the crystallization. The accuracy of isothermal calorimetric data is analyzed in terms of the peak-to-peak noise of the calorimetric signal and base line drift typical of differential scanning calorimetry equipment. Their influence in the evaluation of the kinetic parameter is discussed. An empirical construction of the time-temperature and temperature-heating rate transformation diagrams, grounded on the kinetic parameters, is presented. The method is applied to the kinetic study of the primary crystallization of Te in an amorphous alloy of nominal composition Ga20Te80, obtained by rapid solidification.

The crystallization kinetics of amorphous alloy Mg65Cu15Ag10Y10has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry in the mode of continuous heating annealing. It is found that both DSC curves and activation energy show a strong dependence on the heating rate. The activation energy for crystallization are determined as 186.1 and 184.4 KJ mol−1for the heating rates β=5-20 Kmin−1, and 107.5 and 110.0 KJmol−1for the heating rates β=20-80Kmin−1, when using the Kissinger equation and the Ozawa equation, respectively. Local activation energy at any volume fraction crystallized was obtained by the general Ozawa's isoconversional method. The average value of local activation energy for heating rates ranging from 5 to 20Kmin−1is 180.9 KJ mol−1and for heating rates ranging between 20 and 80Kmin−1is 110.2 KJ mol−1. Using the Suriñach curve fitting procedure, the kinetics mode was specified. The JMA kinetics is manifested as a rule in the early stages of the crystallization. The JMA exponent,n, initially being larger than 4 and continuously decreases to about 2 along with the development of crystallization. The NGG-like mode dominates in the advanced stages of the transformation. These two modes are mutually independent. The proportion between the JMA-like and the NGG-like modes is related to the heating rate.
