ON DECOMPOSITION OF AMORPHOUS PHASE IN METALLIC GLASSES

G. Abrosimova and A. Aronin

Abstract

Structure evolution in metallic glasses under heating and deformation is studied and discussed. Special attention is devoted to the pre-crystallization processes occurring at heating and deformation. A separation of uniform amorphous phase and formation of regions with different type of short range order and/or different composition in light amorphous Al-Ni -RE (RE = La, Gd or Y) alloys is described. Possible reasons of amorphous phase decomposition are considered.
