K. Hono et al., APFIM STUDIES ON NANOCRYSTALLIZATION OF AMORPHOUS-ALLOYS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 226, 1997, pp. 498-502
This paper reports recent atom probe analysis results of Fe-Zr-B(-Cu,
Si, Al) and Al-Ni-Ce(-Cu) nanocrystalline alloys which are fabricated
by primary crystallization of amorphous phase. Clustering, partitionin
g and segregation of alloying elements in the course of primary crysta
llization have been thoroughly studied by atom probe field ion microsc
opy (APFIM). Mechanisms of nanocrystallization in these systems are di
scussed based on these results. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
