AbstractBinary Zr-(Cu, Ni, Al) alloys were mechanically intermixed by cold-rolling stacks of elemental foils. The results indicate that solid-state amorphization is initiated if the grain size of the Zr-Cu and Zr-Ni alloys falls below a critical value. Amorphization was not observed for the Zr-Al alloy. These results are in accordance to the predictions of a model for solid-state amorphization. The comparison with the results on a quaternary Zr-Cu-Ni-Al alloy indicate the influence of multicomponent alloying on the glass-forming ability of Zr-rich alloys by mechanical working.

A eutectic point in Pr-rich Pr-(Cu,Ni)-Al alloys was experimentally determined by measuring the solidus temperature (Tm) and liquidus temperature (T1). It was found that Pr68(Cu0.5Ni0.5)25Al7 (at.%) is at the eutectic composition in the pseudoternary Pr–(Cu0.5Ni0.5)–Al alloys. The alloy Pr68(Cu0.5Ni0.5)25Al7 exhibits better glass-forming ability (GFA) than the ternary eutectic alloy Pr68Cu25Al7. However, the best GFA was obtained at an off-eutectic composition (Pr54[Cu0.5Ni0.5]30Al16) in the Pr–(Cu0.5Ni0.5)–Al alloys, which can be formed in fully amorphous rods with diameter of 1.5 mm by copper mold casting. Moreover, the glass-transition temperature Tg increases quickly (from 367 to 522 K) with the increasing of the Al content (from 3 to 27 at.%). The deviation of the best GFA composition from the eutectic point [Pr68(Cu0.5Ni0.5)25Al7] was explained in terms of the asymmetric coupled eutectic zone, the competition between growth of crystalline phase and formation of amorphous, and the higher glass-transition temperature Tg on the hypereutectic side.

Certain radioactive isotopes decay by emitting positrons, and the positrons can be used to probe the structure of solid materials. For example, one can investigate the grain size due to deformation in a metal. XRD is also a powerful technique for detection the defects introduced into a metal and for investigating the microstructure of a deformed metal. In this paper we shall investigate the plastic deformation effect on the grain size of 5251 Al alloys using two different techniques, PALT and XRD. The study shows a significant effect of the plastic deformation on the grain size which decreases as the deformation increases.
