Abstract

The formation of the primary crystals appearing during isothermal annealing of the Zr46.8Ti8.2Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 (Vit4) bulk metallic glasses has been studied by in-situ neutron diffraction, DSC, high resolution TEM and electron diffraction. We have evidenced that the primary phase appearing on the isothermal plateau at 620 K is quasicrystalline and is beryllium free. Moreover, we have prepared an alloy with the composition determined by EDX (without beryllium), and studied the formation of quasicrystals in this alloy. A comparison is done between the quasicrystalline phases appearing during the annealing of Vit4 and the quasicrystals prepared without beryllium in an amorphous alloy prepared by melt spinning. In particular they have the same intensities and peak positions in the diffraction studies.
