Description

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Neutron Diffraction (ND) and Moessbauer Spectroscopy (MS) were used to study the nanocrystallization process of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si22.5-xBx (x = 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12) amorphous alloys. Both the temperature range and the activation energy of Fe(Si) phase precipitation from the amorphous matrix increase with the initial B composition. The initial Si composition influences the mechanism of the nanocrystallization: for the Si rich samples, the beginning of nucleation and growth processes is interface controlled, for the B rich samples it is diffusion controlled. Secondary crystallization from the remaining amorphous is mainly Fe3B and Fe2B, the ratio of Fe3B/Fe2B being dependent on the initial composition too
