Investigations of the solid state reaction process in mechanically alloyed Zr-Al-Cu-Ni bulk metallic glasses by analytical transmission electron microscopy

摘要

Starting with elemental powders, the progress of amorphization in mechanically alloyed Zr65Al7.5Cu17.5Ni10 has been investigated by x-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Detailed investigations of the microstructural evolution during milling indicate that the amorphization proceeds by solid state reaction, similar to other well known binary or multicomponent systems.
