A method based on the semi-empirical Miedema model and a geometrical model was used to study the glass forming abili-ties （GFA） and the amorphous forming ranges of Al-Fe-Nd-Zr system and its constituent ternary systems. The amorphous forming composition ranges were analyzed based on different criteria such asΔGam-ss and PHSS （PHSS=ΔHchem （ΔSC/R）（ΔSσ/R）） for Al-Fe-Nd system. The predicted amorphous forming range was in good agreement with the experimental results. The results showed that the criterion ofΔGam-ss was more accurate, and agreed well with the experiment results. The Gibbs free energy differenceΔGam-ss and pa-rameter PHSS were then used to predict the amorphous forming composition range for the rest of the constitutive ternary systems of Al-Fe-Nd-Zr. In addition, the amorphous forming composition ranges of the （Al-Fe-Zr）100-xNdx （x=50, 60, 70） systems were predicted byΔGam-ss and the modified parameter PHSS. The Gibbs free energy of Al10（Fe1-xZrx）30Nd60 were also calculated. The GFA parameter PHSS indicated that the composition with the highest GFA was Al33.5Fe13.5Zr3Nd50 for the （Al-Fe-Zr）50Nd50 system, Al28.8Fe10Zr1.2Nd60 for the （Al-Fe-Zr）40Nd60 system and Al22.8Fe6.9Zr0.3Nd70 for the （Al-Fe-Zr）30Nd70 system, and the results suggested that those alloys with high content of Al had higher GFA. The appropriate content of neodymium and zirconium resulted in the lower value of PHSS and increased the GFA obviously.
采用机械合金化方法制备了Al82Fe5Zr5Ce8非晶态合金,用扫描电镜、X射线衍射、差热分析等方法分析了非晶态合金Al82Fe5Zr5Ce8的形貌、结构、热稳定性。结果表明:Al82Fe5Zr5Ce8混合粉末经过机械合金化球磨200h后达到了非晶状态。热分析表明非晶态Al82Fe5Zr5Ce8合金的晶化分两阶段进行,在723K和783K经8h的退火后,非晶态Al82Fe5Zr5Ce8合金达到了完全晶化状态,该状态下出现了很多种中间化合物相,经不同温度退火后晶化产物相基本相同。利用Kissinger方程分析了两个晶化过程的晶化激活能,对应过程的晶化激活能分别是475.6 k J/mol和408.8 k J/mol。
