Title: Metastable alloy phases prepared by solid state reactions and ball milling

Conference ·

The main methods of synthesis of amorphous metallic alloys are based on (1) the rapid solidification of alloys from the liquid or vapor phase, (2) solid state interdiffusion reactions between pure metals having negative heats of mixing, and (3) mechanical attrition of crystalline intermetallics. We describe methods (2) and (3), developed around 1983, and we discuss recent advances in the understanding of the glass forming ranges for the three methods of synthesis. 43 refs., 10 figs.
