化学有序及磁有序在铁基合金相平衡影响方面的交互作用

It is well known that the magnetic properties such as the Curie temperature TmagC and the mean magnetic moment β of ordered compounds have different values from those of the disordered solutions. For instance, both Tcmag and β of the Ni3 Pt (L12) and NiPt (L10) and Tcmag of the CoPt (L10) and CoPt3 (L12) ordered compounds are strongly depressed due to the ordering compared with those of the metastable disordered Ni-Pt and Co-Pt alloys. On the other hand, the γ-FeNi3(L12) and the α-FeCo (B2) ordered compounds have higher Tcmag and β values comparing with the disordered solution phases, γ (A1) and α (A2), respectively. In consequence, the stability of the ordered phase is depressed or enhanced due to the interaction between the chemical and magnetic ordering caused by the decrease or increase of Tcmag and β values. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the interaction between the chemical and the magnetic ordering on the phase equilibria in the Fe-X(X=Al, Co, Ni, Rh, Si) binary systems.The Gibbs energy of the α(A2), γ(A1) and liquid phases is described by a sub-regular solution approximatior. The ordering contribution to the Gibbs energy ,ΔGmorder, and deviations of magnetic properties, ΔTcmag and Δβ, of the ordered compounds, FeAl(B2), Fe3 Al (D03), FeCo (B2), FeRh (B2), FeSi (B2), Fe3 Si (D03) and FeNi3 (L12) is introduced by the split compound energy formalism. Effect of the interaction between the chemical ordering, B2, D03 and L12 and the magnetic ordering on the phase equilibria will be discussed according to the calculated phase diagrams of the Fe-X binary systems.

The (Cr) + (NbC) quasibinary eutectic in the Cr - Nb - C system

An experimental investigation of the Cr - Nb - C alloys has shown that in the (Cr) + (NbC) two-phase region there are the fold with maximal solidus temperature and the saddle point (Cr_79.5Nb_12.2C_8.3) on the liquidus surface, relating to L_c ⇔ (Cr) + (NbC) invariant equilibrium at ≥1640°C.

Sintered metals and alloys

The paper examines the production of a composite material that is double hardened by adding titanium carbides and borides to the steel and by quenching the metal matrix and letting it to age. Samples containing 30 wt.% TiC or TiB₂ are produced by liquid phase sintering, hot pressing, and hot forging. The effect of thermal treatment on the mechanical properties and structural state of the material is investigated. The material quenched and aged is established to be twice as durable and hard as the sintered one. Hence, it can be mechanically treated after sintering and then thermally treated. The highest possible strength of the material produced is 1400 to 1500 MPa and hardness 60 to 65 HRC. Strengthening worn reinforcing-wire knives with plates of the composite material prolonged their life by 50 to 100% compared with the standard knife. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol. 46, No. 7–8 (456), pp. 28–34, 2007.     

X-ray studies on phase equilibria in {Tm, Lu} - W - B ternary systems at 1070 K

Isothermal sections at 1070 K have been constructed by x-ray diffraction applied to the phase diagrams in the Tm - W - B and Lu - W - B systems. The solubility of “WB₂” in TmB₂ is low, while that in LuB₂ attains 0.15 molar fraction (lattice parameters of the (Lu, W) B₂ phase with a limiting composition and having the AlB₂ structure a=0.31772(6), c=0.35804(9) nm). The distinct boride reported previously Tm₃WB₇ is confirmed (Er₃CrB₇ structure type). New ternary compounds have been identified and examined by powder method (DRON-3M diffractometer): TmWB₄ (space group Pbam, structure type YCrB₄, a=0.59989(2), b=1.15866(4), c=0.35821(1) nm, N_hkl=157, R=0.0796) and Lu₂WB₆ (Pbam, structure type Y₂ReB₆, a=0.91339(4), b=1.14865(5), c=0.35124(2) nm, N_hkl=408, R=0.0981).

Phase diagram of the Al2O3-ZrO2-Er2O3 system. III. Solidus surface and phase equilibria in alloy crystallization

The solidus surface for the Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Er₂O₃ phase is projected for the first time onto the concentration triangle. It consists of five isothermal three-phase fields that correspond to four invariant eutectic equilibria, one invariant transformation equilibrium, and six ruled binary eutectic solidus surfaces. The highest solidus temperature in the system is 2710 °C, which is the melting point of pure ZrO₂, and the lowest is 1720°C, which is the melting point of the ternary eutectic AL + F + Er₃A₅. Neither ternary phases nor visible solid solution areas based on components and binary compounds are found in the system. Based on the data on bounding binary systems, liquidus, and solidus surfaces, the phase equilibrium diagram and reaction scheme for equilibrium crystallization of Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Er₂O₃ alloys are constructed. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol. 46, No. 5–6 (455), pp. 74–83, 2007.

Phase diagram of the Al2O3-ZrO2-Er2O3 system. II. Phase diagram liqiudus surface

The liquidus surface for the Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Er₂O₃ phase diagram is projected for the first time onto a concentration triangle. No ternary compounds are found in the system. The liquidus surface is completed by eight primary crystallization fields. Four four-phase nonvariant eutectic equilibria, one four-phase nonvariant transformation equilibrium, and three three-phase nonvariant eutectic equilibria are found in the system. Since ZrO₂ interacts with other phases eutectically, the unique properties of ZrO₂-based T-and F-solid solutions can be combined with the properties of other phases of the ternary system in composite materials. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol. 46, No. 1–2(453), pp. 64–71, 2007.

Phase diagram of the Al2O3-ZrO2-Sm2O3 system. III. Solidus surface and phase equilibria in alloy crystallization

A projection has been constructed for the solidus surface in the Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Sm₂O₃ phase diagram on the plane of the concentration triangle, which consists of seven isothermal three-phase fields corresponding to two nonvariant equilibria of eutectic type and five nonvariant equilibria of peritectic type, and also eight lineated surfaces for the end of crystallization of the binary eutectics. The highest temperature on the solidus surface is 2710°C, the melting point of pure ZrO₂, while the lowest is 1680°C, the temperature of the triple eutectic Al + F + SA. No ternary phases or appreciable regions of solid solutions based on the components and the binary compounds are observed. Data on the bounding binary systems, the liquidus and solidus surfaces have been used to construct the phase-equilibrium (melting) diagram together with a reaction scheme for the equilibrium crystallization of alloys in the Al₂O₃-ZrO₂-Sm₂O₃ system. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Nos. 5–6(449), pp. 56–64, May–June, 2006.

Synthesis, heat resistance, and optical properties of boron silicide and materials based on it

Conditions of synthesis from elements of pure superfine powder of boron silicide B₄Si are investigated. It is shown that the silicide phase forms on boron particles and B₄Si particles inherit the shape and size of initial boron particles, which makes it possible to control the particle size of the powder obtained. The oxidation of pure boron silicide and materials based on it in air and their optical properties are studied. It is shown that chromium diboride added to boron silicide increases the oxidation resistance of B₄Si and hardly decreases its absorbance. The B₄Si-CrB₂ material can be successfully introduced into the compositions of heat-protective coatings operating in air at 1300 °C. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol. 46, No. 3–4 (454), pp. 45–52, 2007.

强磁场对铁基合金相变温度和显微组织的影响

The effect of a high magnetic field up to 30 T on phase transformation temperature and microstructure of Fe-based alloys has been reviewed. A high magnetic field accelerates ferrite transformation, changes the morphology of the transformed microstructures and increases the As and A1 temperature. In a magnetic field of 30 T, the A1 temperature increases by about 37.1℃ for Fe-0.8C, the A3 temperature for pure Fe increases by about 33.1 ℃. The measured transformation temperature data are not consistent with calculation results using Weiss molecular field theory. Ferrite grains are elongated and aligned along the direction of magnetic field in Fe-0.4C and Fe-0.6C alloys by ferrite transformation, but elongated and aligned structure was not found in pure Fe, Fe-0.05C alloy and Fe-1.5Mn0.11C-0.1V alloy.
