摘要: Abstract Herein we present the amorphization, thermal stability, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of (Ni60Nb40)100-x-ySixBy (x = 0, 5 10 at.%, y = 0, at.%) alloys with six distinct compositions. We investigated influence nanocrystals formed by addition Si B on stability alloys. The phase stabilities were studied using X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry characterized nanoindentation testing. It was found that single-step occurred in B-free alloys, whereas double step B-containing (Ni60Nb40)90Si10 alloy exhibited highest onset temperature 714 °C, (Ni60Nb40)95B5 shows lowest at 642 °C. microstructure amorphous consists nano-sized metallic crystals a size less than 5 nm embedded an phase. existence residual facilitates heterogeneous nucleation during phase, weakening Crystallization remarkably enhances 40–60% increase hardness 19–88% elastic modulus. An after is lower because nano-intermetallic phases formation crystallization, due to presence nanocrystals.
