Abstract

The behavior of Au in the course of the primary crystallization process of Fe87Zr7B5Au1 amorphous alloy was examined by use of atom probe field ion microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In the early stage of crystallization, Au atoms were still distributed uniformly in the amorphous matrix. Au atoms form clusters at a later stage when more α–Fe particles are present. The Au clusters were observed to be separated from α–Fe particles, indicating that Au clusters do not stimulate nucleation of α–Fe particles. During the growth of α–Fe grains, cosegregation of Au and Zr occurred without any influence on the α–Fe grain growth. We conclude that Au addition has no effect on nanocrystallization of Fe–Zr–B amorphous alloys.
