Abstract

A molecular dynamics simulation of the rapid solidification process of liquid Zn_xAl_100−x (x=25, 50, 75) alloys has been performed, and their microstructural evolutions have been analyzed by means of bond–type index method of Honeycutt–Andersen (H–A) and cluster–type index method. Results show that at the cooling rate of 1×10¹² K/s all rapid solidified alloys are amorphous structures with majority of 1551 bond–type and icosahedronal basic cluster of (12 0 12 0 0 0).In the rapid solidification process, a peak of the number of 1551 bond–type and icosahedronal basic cluster is demonstrated to exist at the special point corresponding to the glass transition temperature (T_g) of alloys. T_g, the glass forming ability (GFA) and the chemical short–range order (PCSRO) drop with the increase in content of Zn of Zn_xAl_100−x (x=25, 50, 75) alloys. Segregation and clustering of Zn and Al atoms in molten and rapid solidified alloys are also detected by PCSRO and visualization analysis.

Key words： liquid Zn–Al alloy; rapid solidification; molecular dynamics simulation; clustering
