Abstract

Electrical resistivity measurement has been used to study the crystallization in amorphous Al87.5Ni7Mm5Fe0.5 alloy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and resistivity measurement showed that the alloy undergoes a three-stage crystallization process compared to the two-stage crystallization behaviour in many metallic glasses. The first and second peaks around 425 and 609 K, respectively, correspond to the precipitation of fcc-Al and Al11(La,Ce)3 phases. The activation energy for the formation of Al11(La,Ce)3 phase has been found to be 153±5.3 kJ/mol. The Avrami exponent is in the range of 1.50–1.76 indicating a three-dimensional growth mechanism with a decreasing nucleation rate.
