Non-Isothermal Laser Treatment of Fe-Si-B Metallic GlassJoshi, Sameehan Shrikant 12 1900 (has links)
Metallic glasses possess attractive properties, such as high strength, good corrosion resistance, and superior soft magnetic performance. They also serve as precursors for synthesizing nanocrystalline materials. In addition, a new class of composites having crystalline phases embedded in amorphous matrix is evolving based on selective crystallization of metallic glasses. Therefore, crystallization of metallic glasses and its effects on properties has been a subject of interest. Previous investigations from our research group related to laser assisted crystallization of Fe-Si-B metallic glass (an excellent soft magnetic material by itself) showed a further improvement in soft magnetic performance. However, a fundamental understanding of crystallization and mechanical performance of laser treated metallic glass was essential from application point of view. In light of this, the current work employed an integrated experimental and computational approach to understand crystallization and its effects on tensile behavior of laser treated Fe-Si-B metallic glass. The time temperature cycles during laser treatments were predicted using a finite element thermal model. Structural changes in laser treated Fe-Si-B metallic glass including crystallization and phase evolution were investigated with the aid of X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, resistivity measurements, and transmission electron microscopy. The mechanical behavior was evaluated by uniaxial tensile tests with an InstronTM universal testing machine. Fracture surfaces of the metallic glass were observed using scanning electron microscopy and site specific transmission electron microscopy.
Fe-Si-B metallic glass samples treated with lower laser fluence (<0.49 J/mm2) underwent structural relaxation while higher laser flounces led to partial crystallization. The crystallization temperature experienced an upward shift due to rapid heating rates of the order of 104 K/s during laser treatments. The heating cycle was followed by termination of laser upon treatment attainment of peak temperature and rapid cooling of the similar order. Such dynamic effects resulted in premature arrest of the crystallite growth leading to formation of fine crystallites/grain (~32 nm) of α-(Fe,Si) as the major component and Fe2B as the minor component. The structural relaxation, crystallization fractions of 5.6–8.6 Vol% with α-(Fe,Si) as the main component, and crystallite/grain size of the order of 12 nm obtained in laser fluence range of 0.39-0.49 J/mm2 had minimal/no influence on tensile behavior of the laser treated Fe-Si-B metallic glass foils. An increase in laser fluence led to progressive increase in crystallization fractions with considerable amounts of Fe2B (2-6 Vol%) and increase in grain size to ~30 nm. Such a microstructural evolution severely reduced the strength of Fe-Si-B metallic glass. Moreover, there was a transition in fracture surface morphology of laser treated Fe-Si-B metallic glass from vein pattern to chevron pattern. Tensile loading lacked any marked influence on the crystallization behavior of as-cast and structurally relaxed laser-treated metallic glass foils. However, a significant crystallite/grain growth/coarsening of the order of two and half times was observed in the fractured region compared to the region around it for the laser-treated partially crystallized metallic glass foils. The simultaneous effects of stress generation and temperature rise during tensile loading were considered to play a key role in crystallite/grain growth/coarsening.

The ferromagnetic bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) started to be investigated only in the last 10 years.They are difficult to cast, but their properties are uniques. The work deals with casting, mechanical and soft magnetic properties of new Fe-based BMGs. Such alloys can be cast directly in samples with various geometries and they can be use as magnetic parts in different devices.

Studies Of Glass Formation In Al-La-Ni And Mg-TM-RE Alloys With A Structure Mapping ApproachBiswas, Tripti 01 1900 (has links)
The glass-forming composition ranges in Al-La-Ni and Mg-TM (Cu, Zn)-Y alloys were predicted using Miedema’s model. Glass-forming abilities of Al-La-Ni alloys and Mg-Cu-RE alloys were studied in terms of reduced glass transition temperature (Trg), supercooled liquid region (∆Tx) and γ parameters. The glass-forming ability parameters of Mg-Cu-RE (RE: rare-earth) alloys were correlated with Mendeleev number.
The Miedema model has been used to determine glass-forming composition range in binary Al-La, Al-Ni and La-Ni alloy systems and the ternary Al-La-Ni system by neglecting the ternary interactions. The glass-forming composition range for Al-La, Al-Ni and La-Ni alloy systems extends from 5 to 90 at% La, 30 to 80 at% Ni and 5 to 95 at% Ni, respectively. In these systems the predicted glass-forming composition range is wider than the experimentally observed range. Miedema model, restricting the difference of enthalpy of formation between the amorphous and solid solution phases to within –10000 J/mole to –55000 J/mole gives rise to better prediction of glass-forming composition range compared to the original models. The concept of mixing enthalpy and mismatch entropy has been used in order to quantify Inoue’s criteria of glass formation. The mixing enthalpy and normalised mismatch entropy of the ternary Al-La-Ni alloys, calculated by the extended regular solution model, vary between –12 to –40 kJ/mol and 0.16 to 0.65, respectively. The enthalpy contour plot has been constructed to distinguish the glass-forming compositions on the basis of the increasing negative enthalpy of the composition.
Six Al rich Al-La-Ni alloys with nominal compositions Al89La6Ni5, Al85La10Ni5, Al85La5Ni10, Al82La8Ni10, Al80La10Ni10 and Al60La20Ni20 three La rich Al-La-Ni alloys with nominal compositions Al34La33Ni33, Al40La40Ni20 and Al25La50Ni25 have been chosen from the Al-La-Ni ternary phase diagram, to study the glass-forming ability of Al-La-Ni ternary alloy system and the correlation between La-based and Al-based glasses. All the alloys have been prepared using arc melting unit. All the alloy ribbons have been prepared using single-wheel vacuum melt-spinning unit. Two different wheel speeds of 20 m/s and 40 m/s were used for preparing ribbons of all the nine alloys. All the Al-La-Ni compositions, excluding equi-atomic composition (Al34La33Ni33) and Al60La20Ni20, give rise to amorphous phases. The supercooled liquid region and reduced glass transition temperature of this system increases with a decrease in Al content and an increase in La content. The glass-forming ability of the Al rich Al-La-Ni alloys is lower than that of the La-rich Al-La-Ni alloys. The glass-forming ability has been explained by taking into account the binary heat of mixing and the atomic radius mismatch of the constituent elements. Preferential crystallisation takes place during the heat treatment of glassy ribbons. The crystalline products are partially influenced by composition and binary heat of mixing between elements.
Mg65Cu25Y10 alloy is a classical glass former of a family of Mg-based alloys. The partial or complete substitution of Y with other rare earth elements has been introduced to correlate the Mendeleev Number with the glass-forming ability parameters: reduced glass transition temperatures (Trg = Tg/Tl), supercooled liquid regions (∆Tx = Tx – Tg) and γ-criterion (TX/(Tg + Tm)). Mg-Cu-RE alloys with nominal compositions Mg65Cu25Y10, Mg65Cu25Y5Gd5, Mg65Cu25Y5Nd5, Mg65Cu25Gd10 and Mg65Cu25Nd10 were chosen for this work. The high reduced glass transition temperature, wider supercooled liquid region and higher γ value of Mg-Cu-Gd-Y amorphous alloy compared to Mg-Cu-Y and Mg-Cu-Nd-Y systems indicates that Mg-Cu-Gd-Y alloys possess higher glass-forming ability. The devitrification of all Mg-Cu-RE glassy alloys used for this work give rise to Mg2Cu (oF48) phase, which is known as anti-Laves phase. The glass-forming composition range for binary and ternary Mg-Cu-Y systems was calculated using Miedema’s model.
The development of accurate methods of prediction of glass-forming ability in metallic systems is an important challenge. Pettifor has pioneered the Structure Mapping approach to binary intermetallics. The Pettifor approach can be adapted to the designing of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). This method has been used to design Al-based and Mg-based BMG’s. Pettifor introduced an integer parameter to characterize the elements, which he called the Mendeleev Number. Essentially, Pettifor’s scheme orders the elements in a sequence of increasing electronegativity. With respect to Mendeleev Number, the Mg-Cu-RE system can be regarded as a binary system, because of the closeness of Mg and Cu (Mg:73, Cu:72, Y:25, Gd:27 and Nd:30). For this system, Mendeleev Number is a more effective parameter than atomic size (Mg: 1.60 Å, Cu: 1.27 Å), as a predictor of glass-forming ability. The effect of Y and rare earth elements on glass forming ability is similar. The atomic number of Y (39) is away from that of the rare earth elements and the Mendeleev Number of Y (25) comes in between those of the rare earth elements.
Mg-Zn-Y system is an interesting system for researchers because of higher strength of these alloys. This system draws the crystallographers’ attention due to its composition-dependent structure variations. The Mg-rich RS/PM Mg-Zn-Y alloys yield superior mechanical properties. Therefore, the Mg-rich Mg-Zn-Y system has been chosen to study the microstructural evolution, even though the theoretical calculations for the glass-forming composition range for the Mg-Zn-Y system shows that this system is not a good glass former. Mg-Zn-Y system with nominal compositions Mg97Zn1Y2, Mg97Zn2Y1, Mg97−xZn1Y2Zrx and Mg92Zn6.5Y1.5 were chosen to study the microstructural evolution of these alloys. A small increase in Zn amount (above 2 at.%) in Mg-rich Mg-Y system results in quasicrystalline particles embedded in the matrix, whereas the addition of Zn up to 2 at.% leads to microstructural changes in the α-Mg solid solution.

Nouveaux matériaux magnétocaloriques à base de terres rares pour la réfrigération magnétique / New rare earth-based magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigerationMayer, Charlotte 29 September 2011 (has links)
Les travaux présentés dans ce manuscrit portent sur la synthèse et la caractérisation de nouveaux matériaux magnétocaloriques à basse de terres rares pour la réfrigération magnétique. Le premier chapitre constitue une introduction aux notions d’effet magnétocalorique et de réfrigération magnétique et dresse un état de l’art des matériaux magnétocaloriques existants. Dans le but d’obtenir des matériaux à forte capacité de réfrigération (RC) et d’identifier des stratégies d’amélioration de ce critère de performance, deux voies de recherche ont été explorées : l’élargissement de la transition magnétique et l’effet de l’élément de transition M et de l’élément p (X) dans les verres métalliques Gd60M30X10 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu et X = Al, Ga, In) d’une part, et la synthèse de nouveaux siliciures ternaires dans les systèmes R-M-Si (R = Nd, Gd, Tb et M = Co, Ni) à fort potentiel magnétocalorique, d’autre part.Le second chapitre de cette thèse présente les propriétés magnétiques des rubans amorphes à base de gadolinium synthétisés par la technique de melt-spinning, dans lesquels le désordre structural induit un très fort élargissement de la transition magnétique (vis-à-vis de celle du gadolinium par exemple). Il montre dans un premier temps, la faible influence de l’élément p (X) sur les propriétés magnétiques des rubans Gd60Mn30X10 (X = Al, Ga, In). Une seconde partie présente la très forte influence de l’élément de transition M, tant sur la nature de la transition magnétique que sur les propriétés magnétocaloriques des verres métalliques Gd60M30In10 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu), avec en particulier une température de Curie variant entre 86 (M = Ni) et 220 K (M = Fe) et l’existence d’un phénomène de type cluster-glass en dessous de 35 K lorsque M = Mn. Le chapitre trois de cette thèse se décline en trois parties. La première décrit les conditions de synthèse parfois délicates, notamment dans le choix des températures de recuit, des siliciures R5MSi2, Gd5Si3 et du composé à domaine d’existence Gd3Co2,5 ± xSi1,5 ± y. L’utilisation de la méthode Rietveld pour l’affinement des diffractogrammes de rayons X sur poudre et monocristaux et neutrons a permis de montrer que les composés R5MSi2 adoptent une structure de type Cr5B3 avec la particularité de l’occupation mixte du site 8h par Co et Si à 50 %/50 % et que Gd3Co2,5 ± xSi1,5 ± y adopte une structure de type Er3Ge4 avec des sites mixtes Co/Si en positions 4a et 4c. La seconde partie présente les propriétés magnétiques et magnétocaloriques du siliciure Gd5CoSi2. Ce composé subit une transition ferromagnétique à la température de Curie de 169 K qui s’accompagne d’une variation d’entropie magnétique calculée par l’application de la relation de Maxwell, de -4,7 et 8,7 J kg-1 K-1 pour des variations de champ magnétique respectives de 2 et 5 T. Le troisième volet de ce chapitre décrit les propriétés magnétiques de Nd5CoSi2 et Nd5NiSi2 qui présentent une transition ferromagnétique respectivement à 55 et 44 K. Il décrit également l’affinement de la structure ferromagnétique cantée de Nd5CoSi2 obtenue par des mesures de diffraction neutronique.Il ressort de ces travaux que l’évaluation des matériaux magnétocaloriques par le seul critère de capacité de réfrigération ne mène pas vers les matériaux les plus adaptés à l’application. Il faudrait cibler plus spécifiquement, pour chaque type de cycle de réfrigération envisagé, des critères pragmatiques tels qu’une fenêtre de température d’utilisation autour de la température de Curie ou une valeur de chaleur spécifique optimale afin de mieux guider la recherche de nouveaux matériaux magnétocaloriques. / The studies presented in this manuscript deal with the synthesis and characterization of new rare-earth based magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigeration applications. The first chapter is an introduction to the concepts of magnetocaloric effect and magnetic refrigeration and establishes a review of the magnetocaloric materials existing today. Two research axes were explored in order to obtain materials with a high refrigeration capacity (RC) and to identify strategies for improving this performance criterion: the enlargement of magnetic transition and the effect of transition element M and p-element X in the metallic glasses Gd60M30X10 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu et X = Al, Ga, In) on one hand, and the synthesis of new ternary silicides in the RE-M-Si systems (RE = Nd, Gd, Tb et M = Co, Ni) with high magnetocaloric potential on the other hand. The second chapter of this thesis presents the magnetic properties of Gd-based amorphous ribbons synthesized by the melt-spinning technique, in which the structural disorder induces a very strong enlargement of the magnetic transition (compared to that of pure Gd for instance). In a first part, it shows the weak influence of the p element (X) on the magnetic properties of Gd60Mn30X10 (X = Al, Ga, In) ribbons. A second part presents the very strong influence of the transition element M, either on the nature of the magnetic transition and on the magnetocaloric properties of Gd60M30In10 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) metallic glasses with, in particular, a Curie temperature varying between 86 (M = Ni) and 220 K (M = Fe) and the occurrence of a cluster-glass behavior below 35 K when M = Mn. The third chapter of this thesis is composed of three parts. The first one describes the synthesis conditions of RE5MSi2 (RE = Nd, Gd, Tb), Gd5Si3 and of the compound with existence domain Gd3Co2.5 ± xSi1.5 ± y. These syntheses are sometimes delicate, particularly in the choice of annealing temperatures. The use of the Rietveld method to refine the X-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns allowed showing that RE5MSi2 compounds adopt a Cr5B3 type structure, with a mixed occupation of 8h site by Co and Si at 50 %/50 % and that Gd3Co2.5 ± xSi1.5 ± y adopts an Er4Ge4 type structure with mixed Co/Si occupation in 4a et 4c positions. The second part presents the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the Gd5CoSi2 silicide. This compound exhibits a ferromagnetic transition at the Curie temperature TC = 169 K that is accompanied by a magnetic entropy change of -4.7 and 8.7 kg-1 K-1 at 2 and 5 T, respectively, as calculated by the application of Maxwell’s relationship. The third part is this chapter describes the magnetic properties of Nd5CoSi2 and Nd5NiSi2 which order ferromagnetically at 55 and 44 K, respectively. It also presents the refinement of the canted ferromagnetic structure on Nd5CoSi2, obtained by neutron diffraction measurements.These study show that evaluating the magnetocaloric materials by only considering the criterion of refrigeration capacity does not lead to the elaboration of the best materials for the applications. It could be more efficient to target more pragmatic criteria, for each considered refrigeration cycle, such as a temperature window of use around the Curie temperature or an optimal specific heat value in order to lead the research of new magnetocaloric materials at best.
