The structural features of the amorphous C14 HfNiAl Laves phase
Journal Title: Archives of Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 89
Abstract
Purpose: In order to clarify whether amorphization occurs in the pseudo-binary C14 HfNi0.6Al1.4 Laves phase a detailed investigation of the effect of hydrogen treatment on it phase-structural state has been studied. This type of compounds is of interest due to their high possibility to hydrogen absorption as Laves phase structures and as Hf-Ni alloys. Design/methodology/approach: We used a combination of hydrogen treatment and grinding methods for studying of the processes of controlled structure formation. High temperature transformations of the HfNi0.6Al1.4 alloy were pointed out by means of XRD analysis. Findings: By combination of two amorphization methods and high temperature measurements we have observed a phase structural transformation of the HfNi0.6Al1.4 alloy, which could be presented as: HfNi0.6Al1.4(cryst.) + H2 ® HfNi0.6Al1.4 (nanocryst.) + HfNi0.6Al1.4 (amorphous) + H2 ® HfH2 (amorphous) + AlH3 (amorphous) + Ni. Ferromagnetic- like properties of the pseudo-binary HfNi0.6Al1.4 Laves phase was found. Research limitations/implications: Complex research of HfNi0.6Al1.4 alloy revealed various structure features depending on phase content, thermodynamic parameters and conditions of hydrogen treatment. Obtained results suppose that further studies of structure and physical properties of Hf-Ni-Al alloys will allow to find the methods to control the producing of materials with desired properties. Practical implications: Using of hydrogen treatment is effective to produce Al-based alloys with improved magnetic properties. Originality/value: Treatment in hydrogen atmosphere allows improving the glass-forming ability in Hf-Ni-Al alloys.<br/><br/>
