Abstract
The phase formation of a copper-mold-cast Zr60Ti2Nb6Cu14 Ni9Al9 alloy has been investigated upon cooling from the melt as well as upon annealing of as-cast specimens. The different states of the samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical and electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The cooling rate as realized upon copper-mold casting leads to micrometer-sized quasicrystals, which are embedded in a glassy phase. The thermal stability ΔTx of the supercooled liquid state of the glassy phase that forms near to the wall of the copper mold, differs from that of the glassy matrix in the center of the rod due to different compositions of the glassy phase. This is a consequence of the change in local cooling conditions, which affects the phase formation upon solidification as well as the subsequent transformation behavior of the alloy upon constant-rate heating.
Dedicated to Professor Dr. Knut Urban on the occasion of his 65th birthday
