Figure 6
Partially crystalline microstructure of a Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 BMG flash-annealed at φ ave = 37 K/s to T ej = 878 K. (a) Optical micrograph (OM) of a BMG heated. The crystals are preferentially aligned along the eddy currents (brighter curved traces marked with vertical arrows). (b) OM of the same BMG specimen depicts cracks, which form and propagate in the crystalline phase network and terminate in the amorphous matrix.
