Non—Isothermal Differential Scanning Calorimetry Studies on Nanocrystallization Kinetics of Fe81Si3.5B13.5C2 Amorphous Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The nanocrystallization kinetics of the Fe81Si3.5B13.5C2 amorphous alloy was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The apparent activation energy Ea, as well as the nucleation and growth kinetic parameters has been calculated by Kissinger and Ozawa methods. The changeable activation energy Ea with crystalline fraction α was obtained by the expended Friedman method without assuming the kinetic model function, and the average value of Ea was 364±20 kJ/mol. It was shown that the crystallization mechanism of initial stage (0<α<0.7) of the transformation was bulk crystallization with two and three dimensional nucleation graining growth which was controlled by diffusion. For the middle stage (0.7<α<0.9), the crystallization mechanism is surface crystallization with one dimensional nucleation graining growth at a near-zero nucleation rate. In the final stage(α>0.9),the local Avrami exponents rose anomalously from 1.4 to about 2.0.
