Phase formation and properties of rapidly solidified DyFe (B, C) alloys

The Dy2Fe14B1-xCx (0 ? x ? 1) alloys have been studied in order to understand the main differences in the phase formation between the carbides and borides. The amorphous alloys were prepared by melt spinning and the recrystallisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The results reveal some interesting features about the crystallisation mechanism of these amorphous alloys
