Effect of Boron Microalloying on Microstructure and Thermoelastic Martensitic Transformation in Aged NiFeGa(B) Alloys
摘要
Effect of microalloying by boron, added by two different methods, on the microstructure and martensitic transformation in as-cast and aged Ni54Fe19Ga27 alloys was studied. The increase of the aging time of the Ni54Fe19Ga27 alloy from 0.5 to 10 h at 823 K leads to the formation of a large volume fraction of the ordered γ′-phase. Microalloying with boron inhibits the precipitation of the γ(γ')-phase and prevents its ordering. The parameters of martensitic transformation are most stable with increasing aging time of a (Ni54Fe19Ga27)99.7B0.3 alloy when boron is added in the form of a NiB alloy.
