STUDY OF CRYSTALLIZATION OF Fe95Si5 AMORPHOUS ALLOY USING XRD AND DSC

Abstract. Crystallization of amorphous metallic alloy Fe95Si5 (at. %) was investigated using X-ray diffraction measurements performed in-situ during isothermal annealing. Fe95Si5 rib-bons, prepared by melt-spinning, have been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Their nanostructural evolution has been studied by combining heat treatments with conventional X-ray diffraction. The objective of the experiment was to determine changes in the structural parameters during crystallization of the examined alloy. The crystalline diame-ter and the lattice constant of the crystallizing phase were used as parameters to evaluate structural changes in the material
