Abstract
In this study, Au49Ag5.5Pd2.3Cu26.9Si16.3 metallic glass is annealed at Tg and its impact on crystal growth is demonstrated with nanocalorimetry. With annealing following the rapid quenching, an amorphous phase free of nuclei, a relaxed amorphous phase, an amorphous phase with nuclei, and an amorphous phase with crystals are sequentially produced. With the reheating at rates ranging from 100 to 50,000 K/s, these four stages are quantitatively distinguished. Additionally, crystal growth behaviors of these four stages are demonstrated by the Kissinger and Mauro-Yue-Ellison-Gupta-Allan model. For the quenched and relaxed amorphous phases, the apparent crystallization activation energy (Ea) decreases with increasing heating rate, with a noticeable upward deviation at ultrahigh heating rates. When nuclei and crystals form in the amorphous phase, Ea keeps decreasing with the heating rate. As the annealing time increases, the maximum growth rate (umax) exhibits a monotonic increase while the temperature corresponding to umax displays a maximum.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
