Abstract
In the Fe–Nb–Zr system, six primary solidification regions were identified in the liquidus surface projection by analyzing microstructures and phase constituents of 26 as-cast alloys. The equilibrium areas of 4 three phases and 7 two phases were determined by measuring the phase constituents of 24 equilibrated alloys at 1273 K. The solubility of Nb in Fe23Zr6 and λ2 at 1273 K was ∼0.7 and 9.0 at. %, respectively, and that of Zr in μ and λ1 at 1273 K was ∼8.1 and 38.4 at. %, respectively. The compound τ with NiTi2 structure was confirmed to be stable at 1273 K, and the homogeneity range of Nb was ∼10.1–16.8 at. %. Combining the experimental results in literature and those of the current study, the Fe–Nb–Zr system was assessed by CALPHAD method. A set of self-consistent reliable thermodynamic parameters was derived.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
