Monitoring Metastable Phases and Grain Structures Derived from Glassy Alloys.

Abstract

The glassy phase affords a potentially unique route to achieving new metastable structures with desirable properties. X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and electron microscopy studies of iron-base alloys show a number of potentially useful (and perhaps generally characteristic) behaviors in the transition from the as-quenched glass towards equilibrium, such as relaxed glassy states, supersaturated solid solutions, unique metastable compounds and phase morphologies, and ultra-fine grain sizes.
