Title: Elucidating the nature of crystallization kinetics in Zr ₄₆ Cu ₄₆ Al ₈ metallic glass through simultaneous WAXS/SAXS measurements

Abstract

Simultaneous wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS/SAXS) measurements were performed to investigate the low-temperature crystallization kinetics of Zr₄₆Cu₄₆Al₈ bulk metallic glass during isothermal annealing. Quantitative analysis of the WAXS intensity data indicated that the crystallization process was dominated by steady-state homogeneous nucleation and three-dimensional diffusion-controlled growth. This observation was corroborated by quantitative analysis of the SAXS data showing a saturation of the growth of nanoscale crystallites. Comparison of simultaneously measured WAXS and SAXS data showed evidence of composition fluctuation prior to crystallization, suggesting that the crystallization was facilitated by nanoscale phase separation which established regions of favorable compositions catalyzing crystallization. The temperature dependence of crystallization mechanisms and the resulting microstructures in metallic glass are discussed.

Microphase separation in copolymers of hydrophilic PEG blocks and hydrophobic tyrosine-derived segments using simultaneous SAXS/WAXS/DSC

Journal Article Murthy, N S ; Wang, W ; Kohn, J ; ... - Polymer

Hydration- and temperature-induced microphase separations were investigated by simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in a family of copolymers in which hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blocks are inserted randomly into a hydrophobic polymer made of either desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine ethyl ester (DTE) or iodinated I{sub 2}DTE segments. Iodination of the tyrosine rings in I{sub 2}DTE increased the X-ray contrast between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments in addition to facilitating the study of the effect of iodination on microphase separation. The formation of phase-separated, hydrated PEG domains is of considerable significance as it profoundly affectsmore »« less

Correlation of precipitate evolution with Vickers hardness in Haynes® 282® superalloy: In-situ high-energy SAXS/WAXS investigation

Journal Article Haas, Sylvio ; Andersson, Joel ; Fisk, Martin ; ... - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Here, the aim of this work is to characterise precipitation kinetics in Haynes® 282® superalloy using high-energy Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) together with Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS). The phases identified by WAXS include: γ (matrix), γ' (hardening precipitates), MC (metallic carbides), and M₂₃C₆ /M₆C (secondary metallic carbides). The γ'-precipitates are spheroids with a diameter of several nanometres, depending on temperature and aging time. From the SAXS data quantitative parameters such as volume fraction, number density and inter-particle distance were determined and correlated with Vickers microhardness measurements performed ex situ. The strengthening components associated with precipitates and solid solutionsmore »« less

Growth and melting of metallic nanoclusters in glass: A review of recent investigations

Journal Article Kellermann, G ; Craievich, A. F., E-mail: craievich@if.usp.br - Crystallography Reports

The mechanisms of nucleation and growth and the solid-to-liquid transition of metallic nanoclusters embedded in sodium borate glass were recently studied in situ via small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). SAXS results indicate that, under isothermal annealing conditions, the formation and growth of Bi or Ag nanoclusters embedded in sodium borate glass occurs through two successive stages after a short incubation period. The first stage is characterized by the nucleation and growth of spherical metal clusters promoted by the diffusion of Bi or Ag atoms through the initially supersaturated glass phase. The second stage is named themore »« less

Crystallization and thermophysical properties of Cu{sub 46}Zr{sub 47}Al{sub 6}Co{sub 1} bulk metallic glass

Journal Article Wu, Kang ; Li, Ran ; Zhang, Tao - AIP Advances

Phase evolution of two-step crystallization and the subsequent B2-phase transformation was presented in Cu{sub 46}Zr{sub 47}Al{sub 6}Co{sub 1} bulk metallic glass (BMG) during heating process. Thermophysical properties, i.e. the thermal diffusivity and the specific heat capacity, of the BMG in amorphous solid state and supercooled liquid state as well as its crystalline counterparts were measured from room temperature to 1070 K. The thermal conductivity was also calculated through combination of the data of the thermal diffusivity and the specific heat capacity. The possible influence of the crystallization on the thermophysical properties was discussed.

A novel SAXS model for multi-texture systems: application to CaCO₃ calcination using in-situ USAXS-SAXS-WAXS

Journal Article Strumendo, Matteo matteo.strumendo@unipd.it ; Segre, Carlo U. ; Ilavsky, Jan ; ... - Applied Materials Today

SAXS models, used to calculate the micro-textural properties (porosity, specific surface, correlation length, correlation function) of porous materials, are especially relevant for in-situ material characterization. Certain classes of porous materials, including those generated during solid decompositions, are characterized by distinct regions with different micro-textures. Classical SAXS models cannot be applied directly to such multi-texture systems, thus a novel SAXS model for multi-texture systems is proposed in this work and validated by using measurements of micro-textural properties of a calcined CaCO₃ powder, obtained using time-resolved in-situ synchrotron radiation USAXS, SAXS and WAXS data. The proposed model, in contrast to the directmore »« less
