Abstract
Easy glass-forming Mg64Ni21Nd15 alloy was subjected to Bridgman steady state directional solidification at growth velocities between 0.5 and 2.4 mm s-1 through a temperature gradient of about 15 K mm-1. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated crystalline solidification structure at 0.5 and 1.0 mm s-1, amorphous with some residual crystallinity at 1.7 mm s-1 and fully amorphous at 2.4 mm s-1. The strongest XRD peaks at 0.5 and 1.0 mm s-1 correspond to Mg3Nd, the other phases present being, as yet, unidentified. Values of Tg and Tx of 467 K and 507 K respectively, determined by differential scanning calorimetry for the amorphous condition, match well our previous determinations from chill-cast or melt-spun ribbon of similar alloy composition. The significance of these results for an improved understanding of glass formation in this and related easy glass-forming systems is discussed.
