Abstract

The thermal stability and crystallization behavior of melt spun amorphous Ti50Cu35Ni15-xSnx (x=0, 3, 5, 7) alloys has been studied in by thermal analysis (DSC and DTA) and X-ray diffractometry. Partial replacement of Ni by Sn up to 5 at % in Ti50Cu35Ni15 alloy improved thermal stability and glass forming ability. The onset temperature of the first exotherm increased from 739 to 756 K with increasing Sn content x from 0 to 5, and then decreased to 745 K for the alloy with x=7 due to change in crystallization sequence. Melt spun amorphous Ti50Cu35Ni12Sn3 and Ti50Cu35Ni10Sn5 alloys exhibit ΔTx exceeding 78 and 76 K, respectively, which is significantly larger than ΔTx of 46 K in Ti50Cu35Ni15 alloy. Amorphous Ti50Cu35Ni15 alloy crystallized by precipitation of supersaturated cubic Ti(Ni,Cu) phase followed by decomposition into a mixture of TiCu and TiNi at higher temperature. Amorphous Ti50Cu35Ni15-xSnx (x=3, 5) phase crystallized by precipitation of cubic Ti(Ni,Cu) phase, followed by transformation into a mixture of TiNi, TiCu, Ti3Sn phases. Amorphous Ti50Cu32Ni8Sn7 phase crystallized by co- precipitation of cubic Ti(Ni,Cu) phase and unidentified phase, followed by transformation into a mixture of TiNi, TiCu, Ti3Sn phases.
