| Abstract Scope |
Sub-Tg annealing of metallic glasses (MGs) causes structural relaxation and deterioration of mechanical properties but the underlying structural ordering towards crystallization is hard to assess. Here we show the formation of a well-relaxed MG, via a 0.84Tg anneal of an as-cast MG that shows an endothermic pre-Tg process via calorimetry and increased short range ordering (SRO) observed via autocorrelation of HRTEM images. Upon annealing at 0.91Tg, the well-relaxed MG quickly loses the endothermic pre-Tg process and the increased SRO. Continuation of 0.91Tg annealing results in the appearance of a post-Tg endothermic peak and increased SRO above the relaxed levels. Finally, annealing at 0.98Tg causes the crystallization onset to shift to lower temperatures, suggesting that the above-mentioned ordering processes foreshadow crystallization. Annealing is accompanied by x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and calorimetry, tracking the atomic dynamics and the stored enthalpy (and structure) of the MG towards crystallization. |
