Methods for Production of Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Materials and Their Unique Properties

  • Chapter
Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Materials

Summary

There are a lot of possible techniques that can be used to prepare amorphous materials. This Chapter is denoted to the three widely used methods of preparation of amorphous and metastable materials namely: ball milling, electrode-position and sputtering. The properties of materials obtained by these methods are also to be discussed in the present Chapter. Among the materials studied are: amorphous and nanocrystalline Co-Ti, Ni-W alloys containing from 5 to 30 at.% W, Ti-B, Ti-Si, Ti-C, Ti-Al and Ni-Mo alloys. The structure and phase transformations in the above-mentioned alloys have been studied by means of X-ray diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and differential thermal analysis.
