本研究主要探討以機械合金法(Mechanical Alloying)合成銅基(Cu-based)合金粉末之非晶質化行為,再以XRD、SEM觀察粉末在機械合金過程中微觀組織的變化與相穩定性,用DSC熱分析儀來研究非晶質合金粉末在固定加熱速率下的熱穩定行為。幾種非晶質粉末在結晶反應發生前發現有寬廣過冷液態區DT的存在,其寬廣過冷液態區定義是在玻璃轉換溫度(Tg)與結晶化溫度(Tx)之間(DT=Tx-Tg),Cu50Ti40Fe10為117.95 K、Cu50Ti35B15為77.62 K、Cu60Ti40Mg10為73.99 K、Cu55Ti40Sn5為91.82 K、Cu50Ti40Sn10為95.02 K、Cu60Ti35Sn5為81.13 K、Cu50Ti45Sn5為102.3 K、Cu50Ti40Sn9B1為103.25 K、Cu50Ti40Sn7B3為95.86 K、Cu50Ti40Sn5B5為110.88 K,故在Cu-Ti-Sn非晶質合金系統中添加微量的B元素可增進玻璃形成能力(GFA)。
This study examined the amorphization behavior of Cu-based alloy powders synthesized by mechanical alloying technique. The microstructural evolution during mechanical alloying of the mixed powders was investigated by both X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The phase stabilities of the as-milled powders were analysed by the differential scanning calorimeter. Several amorphous powders were found to exhibit a wide supercooled liquid region before crystallization. The temperature interval of the supercooled liquid region defined by the difference between the glass transition temperature(Tg)and the crystalline temperature(Tx), ie DT(DT=Tx-Tg), is 117.95 K for Cu50Ti40Fe10, 77.62 K for Cu50Ti35B15, 73.99 K for Cu60Ti40Mg10, 91.82 K for Cu55Ti40Sn5, 95.02 K for Cu50Ti40Sn10, 81.13 K for Cu60Ti35Sn5, 102.3 K for Cu50Ti45Sn5, 103.25 K for Cu50Ti40Sn9B1, 95.86 K for Cu50Ti40Sn7B3, and 110.88 K for Cu50Ti40Sn5B5. As the results demonstrated, small addition of B significantly improved the glass forming ability(GFA)of the Cu-Ti-Sn amorphous alloy.
