The crystallization kinetics and microstructural dynamics associated with devitrifying a melt-spun Cu50Zr50 metallic glass were investigated using isothermal treatments, in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction, conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The analysis of isothermal transformations allows us to more clearly unravel the complex interplay between nucleation and growth of competing stable and metastable phases. The isothermal devitrification response was found to involve the Cu10Zr7, CuZr2, and CuZr phases, consistent with previously reported constant heating rate experiments, but here we have resolved the phase evolution and structural characteristics of the transformation, including the very early stages of crystallization. At 671 K (398 A degrees C), the isothermal transformation starts with the formation of the Cu10Zr7 phase, which grows in a generally equiaxed morphology. At a size of approximately 100 nm, the growth of the Cu10Zr7 particles is interrupted by the precipitation of a thin layer of the CuZr2 phase, upon which the metastable CuZr (B2) grows epitaxially. Crystallization kinetics are quantified here though in situ measurements (HEXRD, DSC) and ex situ microstructural analysis (TEM, HRTEM). Finally, the influences of chemical partitioning, diffusion, and crystallographic orientation on this sequence are examined.

Kinetics of fcc-Al nanocrystallization in Al90Tb10 metallic glass DEMIRTAS, T.; Kalay, Yunus Eren (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-15) The crystallization kinetics of Al90Tb10 amorphous alloy were investigated by a combined study of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Cu-K alpha X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses and microhardness measurements. Amorphous to fcc-Al transformation kinetics were descried through Johnson-Mehl-Avrami OMA) approach based on the isothermal DSC hold at 220 degrees C. XRD and TEM revealed the formation of highly populated (similar to 10(21) m(-3)) fcc-Al nanocrystals after...
Efficient Ceria-Supported Rhodium Nanoparticles as an Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Akbayrak, Merve; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (The Electrochemical Society, 2019-12-13) Rh-0/CeO2 catalystwas prepared by the reduction of Rh+3 ions on CeO2 surface and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffractometry techniques. To investigate its electrocatalytic activity for H-2 evolution reaction, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with Rh-0/CeO2. The modified electrode was found to exhibit a high electrocatalytic activity (turnover frequency (TOF): 1.56 s(...
Nanocrystallization in Cu-Zr-Al-Sm Bulk Metallic Glasses Sıkan, Fatih; Yaşar, Bengisu; KALAY, İLKAY (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-04-01) The effect of rare-earth element (Sm) microalloying on the thermal stability and crystallization kinetics of melt-spun ribbons and suction-cast rods of Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 alloy were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atom probe tomography (APT). The XRD results of constant heating rate annealing indicated that amorphous Zr48Cu38.4Al9.6Sm4 melt-spun ribbons devitrifies into Cu2Sm at 673 K (400 A degrees C). The sequ...
The effects of various heat treating parameters on the hardness and microstructures of the experimental 18% nickel maraging steels Pektas, I; Atala, H (1998-01-01) The effect of the parameters of heat treatment on the experimental 18% maraging steels was studied using hardness tester, optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray metallography techniques. The specimens were solution treated at 815, 900, 1000, 1060 degrees C for periods between 1 and 4 h. After air-cooling to room temperature. a bce martensitic structure was obtained. The higher temperature (1060 degrees C) and longer time (4 h) of the solution treatment caused essentially h...
Miscibility of methylmethacrylate-co-methacrylic acid polymer with magnesium, zinc, and manganese sulfonated polystyrene ionomers Alkan, C; Yurtseven, N; Aras, L (2005-01-01) The miscibility of methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid polymer (MMA-MAA) with metal neutralized sulfonated polystyrene ionomers was investigated by viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared radiation spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Polystyrene (PS) was sulfonated by acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid and the sulfonation degree was found to be 2.6 mole percent, and 2.6 mole percent sulfonated polystyrene was neutralized by Mg, Zn, and Mn salts. The miscibility be...
