Crystallization Kinetics Analysis of the Binary Amorphous Mg 72 Zn 28 Alloy.

The aim of the study was to analyze the crystallization kinetics of the Mg 72 Zn 28 metallic glass alloy. The crystallization kinetics of Mg 72 Zn 28 metallic glass were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The phases formed during the crystallization process were identified as α-Mg and complex Mg 12 Zn 13 phases. Activation energies for the glass transition temperature, crystallization onset, and peak were calculated based on the Kissinger model. The activation energy calculated from the Kissinger model was E g = 176.91, E x = 124.26, E p1 = 117.49, and E p2 = 114.48 kJ mol -1 , respectively.
