The Microstructure and Thermal Stability of the Two‐phase Amorphous Melt‐spun Alloys Ejected from a Double‐chamber Crucible

This work presents the microstructure and properties of two-phase amorphous melt-spun alloys ejected from the crucible with partition between liquids. The microstructure was studied by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and the phase composition was studied by X-ray diffraction. The thermal stability of the alloys was determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The microstructure study proves that the composite alloys are heterogeneous because of the existence of the two amorphous phases obtained due to the use of a partition between the liquids. This microstructure correlates with complex thermal characteristics not found in homogeneous alloys of the same nominal composition. The layered structure of these composites influences the formation of fractures during tensile tests.
