Effect of Nb Content on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mo0.25V0.25Ti1.5Zr0.5Nbx High-Entropy Alloys

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have significant application prospects as promising candidate materials for nuclear industry due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and irradiation resistance. In this work, the Mo_0.25V_0.25Ti_1.5Zr_0.5Nb_x(x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) HEAs were designed and fabricated. The alloys were prepared by vacuum arc melting, and all the ingots were annealed at 1200°C for 24 h. The microstructures, ...     

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic calculation of the phase equilibria in the Fe–Ni–V system

The phase equilibria in the Fe–Ni–V ternary system were investigated by means of electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Three isothermal sections of the Fe–Ni–V ternary system at 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C were established. On the basis of the obtained experimental data, the phase equilibria in the Fe–Ni–V system were thermodynamically assessed using (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) CALPHAD method, and a consistent set of thermodynamic parameters leading to reasonable agreement between the calculated results and experimental data was obtained.     

Study of microstructural evolution of friction taper plug welded joints of C–Mn steels

Abstract

This paper describes the microstructural evolution of friction taper plug welded joints of C–Mn steels. Experimental and numerical analyses included calculations based on Calphad and continuous cooling transformation curves, and characterisation techniques. The studied friction taper plug welded joint contains three macroregions: plug material, thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and base material. The thermomechanical conditions imposed in the studied friction taper plug welded joint precluded the formation of a heat affected zone. However, seven subregions were identified within the TMAZ region and details are discussed. The interface zone is found in the TMAZ region, where the most relevant phase transformations take place. It is suggested that the phase transformations in TMAZ region depend on local conditions, such as chemical composition, deformation rate, thermal history and the previous thermomechanical history of the parent materials.     

Atomic mobilities, uphill diffusion and proeutectic ferrite growth in Fe–Mn–C alloys

Following the treatment in CALPHAD, experimental data on diffusivities in Fe–Mn and Fe–C binary systems are critically evaluated with the DICTRA software to derive atomic mobilities. The effect of magnetic ordering on diffusion in bcc phase is taken into account, and the obtained atomic mobilities are expressed as functions of temperature and compositions with the Redlick–Kister polynomials. Based on the mobility parameters obtained in this work for the end-members and the interaction terms, comprehensive comparisons between the calculated and experimentally measured quantities are made. Due to the lack of experimental diffusivities for the ternary system, extrapolation based on binary information is performed, the results of which are used to study uphill diffusion of C in fcc Fe–Mn–C alloys. Such C diffusion against its own concentration gradient is a common occurrence for ternary systems containing one interstitial element, provided that the initial alloy compositions of diffusion couples are well chosen. In addition, the operating tie line evolution for proeutectic ferrite growth is also investigated, where C diffusion-controlled fast and Mn diffusion-controlled slow growths are discussed.     

Thermodynamic assessment of the Au–Ni system

The phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the Au–Ni system have been assessed from experimental thermodynamic and phase diagram data by means of the CALPHAD method. A consistent set of thermodynamic parameters for each phase was obtained. Good agreement is reached between the calculated and experimental results. The calculated congruent point is 1214.3 K and 42.6 at.% Ni and the critical point of the miscibility gap is 1089.5 K and 73.0 at.% Ni.     

Thermodynamic description of the Sn–Ag–Au ternary system

Gibbs energy of hcp_A3 phase in the Ag–Sn binary system has been reassessed using compatible lattice stability. Combined with previous assessments of the Ag–Au and Au–Sn binary systems, the Sn–Ag–Au ternary system has been thermodynamically optimized using the CALPHAD method on the basis of available experimental information. The solution phases including liquid, fcc_A1, hcp_A3 and bct_A5, are modeled as substitutional solutions, while the intermediate compound Ag₃Sn is treated using a 2-sublattice model because Au can be dissolved to a certain degree. The solubility of Ag in the Au–Sn intermediate phases, D0₂₄, Au₅Sn, AuSn, AuSn₂ and AuSn₄, is not taken into account. Thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys, liquidus projection and several vertical and isothermal sections of this ternary system have been calculated, which are in reasonable agreement with the reported experimental data.     

Thermodynamic assessment of the KCl–K2CO3–NaCl–Na2CO3 system

Phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of the KCl–K₂CO₃–NaCl–Na₂CO₃ system were analyzed on the basis of the thermodynamic evaluation of the KCl–NaCl,KCl–K₂CO₃,NaCl–Na₂CO₃,K₂CO₃–Na₂CO₃ and KCl–K₂CO₃–NaCl–Na₂CO₃ systems. The Gibbs energies of individual phases was approximated by two-sublattice models for ionic liquids and crystals. Most of the experimental information was well described by the present set of thermodynamic parameters. The lowest monovariant eutectic temperature in the KCl–NaCl–Na₂CO₃ system is located at 573 ^°C, with a composition of X_Na2CO3=0.31,X_KCl=0.35 and X_NaCl=0.34.
