Electron Irradiation Effect on the Microstructure and Phase Stability of Fe-Based Fe71.0Zr9.0B20.0 Metallic Glass with a Wide Supercooled Liquid Region

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe effect of electron irradiation on the microstructural change and phase stability of melt-spun Fe71.0Zr9.0B20.0 metallic glass having a wide supercooled liquid region of 71 K was examined. Crystallization from the amorphous phase was accelerated by electron irradiation, and this irradiation was effective in producing a nanocomposite microstructure.
