Abstract: | The thermodynamics of ferrite containing dissolved copper is analyzed theoretically, taking into account the effect of copper on the Curie temperature. By combination with experimental information on the solubility of copper in austenite, this model is used to predict the solubility of copper in ferrite. The result shows good agreement with experimental data but indicates that the data should be extrapolated in a manner different from that which has been previously suggested. The effects of copper and cobalt on the relative stability of the α and γ phases in iron-rich alloys are compared. It is concluded that their difference is mainly caused by the difference in their effects on the Curie temperature of α-iron. |
