Phase equilibria, phase structure and phase transition of Y-Fe-B alloys: Experimental investigation and thermodynamic calculation
The phase equilibria of the Y-Fe-B ternary system were investigated using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Six ternary intermetallic compounds were identified through SEM-EDS analysis and XRD Rietveld refinements: Y2Fe14B (Nd2Fe14B-type structure and space group P42/mnm), YFe4B4 (Nd1+ϵFe4B4-type structure and space group Pccn), YFe2B2 (CeAl2Ga2-type structure and space group I4/mmm), YFeB4 (YCrB4-type structure and space group Pbam), Y5Fe2B6 (Pr5Co2B6-type structure and space group R-3m) and Y3FeB7 (Y3ReB7-type structure and space group Cmcm). The solidification microstructure, phase compositions and phase transitions of YxFe94-xB6 and Y11.7Fe88.3-xBx as-cast alloys were examined using SEM-EDS and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Furthermore, by integrating the previous calculations of the Y-Fe and Fe-B binary systems with the results determined in this study and reported in the literature, thermodynamic calculation of the Y-Fe-B ternary system was conducted by means of the CALPHAD method, based on the present optimization of the Y-B binary system. The calculated phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of the Y-B binary system are in good agreement with the reported results, while the calculated vertical and isothermal sections of the Y-Fe-B ternary system are consistent with the experimental data. Finally, the available thermodynamic parameters for the Y-Fe-B ternary system were obtained, providing a robust foundation to develop a thermodynamic database of magnetic RE-Fe-B-based alloys.
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.
