Abstract

Amorphous Ti-based flaky powders about 2 μm thick were produced in a wide range of particle size from 25 to 150 μm using a two-stage quenching technique consisting of impact flattening supercooled liquid droplets obtained by high-pressure Ar atomization. The flaky powder particles have a smooth surface with a sharp edge and good metallic luster, and their corrosion resistance is much better than that of pure Ti metal and SUS 304. The aspect ratio is as large as 20-300. No appreciable difference in Tg and Tx is found between the flaky powder and melt-spun ribbon, while the heat of structural relaxation for the powder is 2.0-2.9 times as large as that for the ribbon. It is concluded that the flaky amorphous powder is produced at a much higher cooling rate than the ribbon because of the subsequent cooling of the supercooled liquid droplets.
