Abstract
The phase diagram of the Fe-Zn binary system was evaluated based on the CALPHAD method with reference to the latest experimental data. The solubility ranges of the intermetallic compound phases, Γ-Fe4Zn9, Γ1-Fe11Zn40, δ1k-FeZn7, δ1p- Fe13Zn126, and ζ-FeZn13 were modeled considering their structures consisting of Zn12 icosahedra with Fe at the center (Fe1Zn12 clusters) as well as glue-like Fe and Zn atoms, and the miscibility gap between the δ1k and δ1p phases was also taken into account in the present calculations. The solubility of Fe in the liquid and (ηZn) phases that was confirmed as dozens of times larger than the values reported in the earlier literature could be calculated by introducing Fe1Zn12 associates to these solution phases. Consequently, all phase equilibria were adequately reproduced by the thermodynamic models and parameters revised in the present study.
期刊介绍:
The most trusted journal for phase equilibria and thermodynamic research, ASM International''s Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion features critical phase diagram evaluations on scientifically and industrially important alloy systems, authored by international experts.
The Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion is critically reviewed and contains basic and applied research results, a survey of current literature and other pertinent articles. The journal covers the significance of diagrams as well as new research techniques, equipment, data evaluation, nomenclature, presentation and other aspects of phase diagram preparation and use.
Content includes information on phenomena such as kinetic control of equilibrium, coherency effects, impurity effects, and thermodynamic and crystallographic characteristics. The journal updates systems previously published in the Bulletin of Alloy Phase Diagrams as new data are discovered.
