Crystallization mechanism of CeAlFeCo bulk metallic glasses

Crystallization behaviors of Ce60Al15Fe5+xCo20−x (x=0, 5, 10) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were studied by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The crystallization processes of different samples were simulated by JMA equation. Experimental results demonstrated that incubation and crystallization time increased with decreasing isothermal temperature for the same sample. The crystallization mechanism of CeAlFeCo BMGs was discussed.
