Research Abstract

In this project, we have developed a novel type of metallic material that is an amorphous matrix with dispersion of nano-crystalline particles. The structure was obtained in several Al-based alloys (Al>87%) by annealing amorphous phase at low temperature (-400K). This materials with precipitation of fcc-Al revealed tensile strength and ductility higher than those for full amorphous phase. Furthermore, in a systematic investigations, it was found that addition of 3at% Cu (or Ag) remarkably improved the mechanical strength. For example, for Al_<87>Ni_7Cu_3Ce_3 alloy, the tensile strength of as-quenched amorphous phase is about 900MPa and it goes up to about 1200MPa after subsequent annealing. Annealing induced increase in tensile strength is caused by the dispersion of fcc-Al particles with size of 5-10nm in the amorphous matrix. The precipitation of fcc-Al was identified to be a growth process of nanocrystalline grains in amorphous phase. The grain process was only observed in the amorphous alloy with Al>87at%, indicating a number nuclei have pre-existed in an Al-enriched area in the original amorphous state. This has been confirmed by small angle X-ray diffraction. In the characterization by atom probe field ion microscopy, Ce seems to be strongly segregated in the fcc-Al/amorphous interface. It was concluded that the segregation of Ce (the atom with large size) supresses the growth of fcc-Al grains and enhances the tensile strength of the material.
