Partial Phase Relationships in the Zr–Nb–Fe(O) System Focused on the Nature of (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O
摘要
The fcc-based (Zr, Nb)2Fe phase was previously recognized as a stable compound in the Zr–Nb–Fe system. Our study shows that (Zr, Nb)2Fe is an O-stabilized phase (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O. The results indicate that the (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O is based on the ternary Zr4Fe2Ox phase in the Zr–Fe–O system.This study has identified four four-phase equilibria consisting of [βZr + Zr(Nb, Fe)2 + (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O + liquid], [βZr + Zr(Nb, Fe)2 + αZr + (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O], [ZrFe2 + Zr(Nb, Fe)2 + (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O + liquid] and [αZr + Zr(Nb, Fe)2 + (Zr, Nb)4Fe2O + ZrO2] in the Zr–Nb–Fe(O) alloys at 1000 ℃. Based on the current experimental findings, the phase relationships of the Zr–Nb–Fe(O) system at 1000 ℃ close to the Zr–Fe side were established.
