Abstract

By rapid quenching from the melt, using the splat forming gun technique, a noncrystalline phase has been obtained in a Cu-Zr alloy containing 60 at. pct Cu. Upon heating, rapid crystallization of the samples takes place at 477°C with a heat release of about 700 cal per mol. The variation of the electrical resistivity of the samples with temperature confirms the transformation. Very high resolution electron microscopy studies of the structural changes of the samples, at 3 × 106 magnification, upon heating are presented and show the gradual crystallization of the amorphous structure.
