Pinning of nanocrystals growth at Fe-Ni-B amorphous alloy crystallization: Atom probe investigations
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015

The crystallization processes in Fe 50 Ni 33 B 17 amorphous alloy have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a three dimensional atom probe (3DAP). The γ-Fe,Ni FCC crystals, 25 nm in size, were found in the amorphous alloy annealed at temperatures ranging 360-400 °C for 1 h. TEM demonstrates that the nanocrystals growth stops as the temperature rises. The formation of an amorphous layer enriched in boron at the border of γ-Fe,Ni nanocrystals responsible for the pinning of nanocrystals size was observed by 3DAP. The composition of an amorphous barrier by 3DAP was found to be Fe 50 Ni 29 B 21 . It was proposed that this composition reveals higher crystallization temperature, which is the reason of pinning nanocrystals growth.
