It is shown that the full isothermal crystallization analysis of Fe80B20 amorphous alloy must include not only a crystal nucleation-and-growth process but also a grain-growth process and that these two processes are separated in time during isothermal annealing. The parameters characterizing the grain-growth process have been found by the fitting calorimetrical signal with the one expected from the normal grain-growth theory.

Abstract
It is shown that the full isothermal crystallization analysis of Fe80B20 amorphous alloy must include not only a crystal nucleation-and-growth process but also a grain-growth process and that these two processes are separated in time during isothermal annealing. The parameters characterizing the grain-growth process have been found by the fitting calorimetrical signal with the one expected from the normal grain-growth theory. Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction seem to confirm our results since they show that there is a good agreement between the average grain radius of crystallization products seen in the micrograph and the one calculated from the obtained parameters.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
