Abstract
In this paper, we present a review of the experimentally determined characteristics of solid-phase amorphization of metals and alloys under ion implantation and ion mixing conditions. For the first time we systematically consider the characteristic features and the thermodynamic, structural, and kinetic criteria for amorphization in different metallic systems, and we demonstrate the expediency of the following classification of alloys undergoing amorphization: “metal-metalloid” systems, intermetallics, heterophase alloys, alloys with high positive heat of mixing. We compare solid-phase amorphization under conditions of bombardment by beams of charged particles, thermal mixing of the alloy components, and mechanical alloying. We consider the phase and structural states preceding amorphization and the possibilities for predicting metallic systems which can undergo amorphization.
