Abstract
Crystallization kinetics of Al91La5Ni4 amorphous ribbons produced by a melt-spinning method were studied by DSC analysis and X-ray diffraction. The effect of heating rate (from 4 to 200 °C min-1) was investigated in the temperature range from 298 to 700 K. Increases the heating rate from 4 to 200 °C min-1 resulted in increases of the temperature difference between the two stages of the transformation process: crystallization of Al and crystallization of the Al compounds from 148.9 to 167.4 K. The apparent activation energies for the first step, related to Al crystallization, and to the second step related to crystallization of Al4La and Al3Ni, were found to be 161±9 and 199±10 kJ mol-1, respectively. The results indicate the possibility of tailoring the heating treatment to produce the required fraction of the amorphous phase.
