Abstract
The chemical inhomogeneities over the order of nanometers in two transition metal-metalloid amorphous alloys have been investigated by means of atom probe field ion microscopy (APFIM). In as quenched Fe82.3Ni1-7 B16 glass the existence of two amorphous phases with different boron concentrations was revealed. The mean size of the precipitated (FeNi)3 B-phase was determined to be about 3 nanometers. The interface between the two phases seems to be rather distinct. However, in as quenched or at 350° C for an hour annealed Fe80.7B12.8Si3.8 C2.6-glass, no regions depleted or enriched in one component detectable can be found. In annealing the glass kept homogeneous on the scale of nanometer, although the specimen underwent a ductile-brittle transition. It was concluded that in this metallic glass phase separation is not involved in the annealing embrittlement.
