This paper investigates the crystallization
process of FeNi alloys
with different impurity concentrations of Ni(x) [x = 10% (Fe90Ni10), 20% (Fe80Ni20), 30% (Fe70Ni30), 40% (Fe60Ni40), and 50% (Fe50Ni50)] at temperature (T) = 300 K and Fe70Ni30 at heating rates of 4 × 1012, 4 ×
1013, and 4 × 1014 K/s at different temperatures, T = 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 900, 1100, and 1300 K. Molecular
dynamics models with the Sutton–Chen embedded interaction potential
and recirculating boundary conditions are used to calculate the molecular
parameters of alloys, such as radial distribution function, total
energy of the system (Etot), size (l), and crystallization temperature (through the relationship
between Etot and T).
The common neighborhood analysis method is used to confirm the theoretical
results of crystallization for Fe–Fe, Fe–Ni, and Ni–Ni.
The annealing process did not have an effect on the crystallization
process of FeNi alloys. The effect of Ni content, heating rate, and
annealing time on structural unit numbers, such as face-centered cubic,
hexagonal close-packed, blocked cubic center, and amorphous, and the
crystallization process of FeNi alloys is also investigated.
