Abstract

Nanocrystallization behavior of Cu60Zr20Ti20 amorphous ribbon induced by severe plastic deformation and by linear heating thermal treatment has been compared. Thermal treatment of the as-quenched ribbon results in the joint formation of two crystalline phases, on contrary, plastic deformation at room temperature induces the precipitation of only Cu2ZrTi.
