scholarly journals Solubility of Boron and Carbon in Ferrite of the Fe-B-C System Alloys

Investigation was carried out for Fe-B-C alloys with carbon content of 0.0001–0.01 % (wt.) and boron content of 0.0001–0.01 % (wt.), the rest is iron. To determine the structural state of alloys we use the microstructure analysis, X-ray microanalysis and X-ray structure analysis. The level of microstraines, dislocation density and the coercive force of ferrite is determined, and it is shown that structure imperfection grows with boron content increase in the alloy. The obtained results enable to suggest that boron atoms in a solid solution of α-iron occupy substitutional-interstitial positions depending on boron content. In the paper it is shown experimentally, that at room temperature solubility limit of boron and carbon in the ferrite is 0.00012 % (wt.) and 0.006 % (wt.). When boron and carbon content increases further, the following phases are formed: Fe2B, Fe3(CB) and Fe23(CB)6. In this paper by means of quasi-chemical method we obtain for the first time temperature dependence of the free energy for α-iron solid solution, as well as solubility limit of carbon and boron. Maximum mass fraction of carbon may be up to 0.016 % (wt.), and maximum boron mass fraction – up to 0.00025 % (wt.). At room temperature the boron solubility limit in ferrite is 0.0001 % (wt.), and carbon one is 0.004 % (wt.). The calculated numerical values of the solubility of boron and carbon in ferrite of the Fe-B-C system alloys are less than that of the experimental results. This can be explained by the fact that boron atoms interact more actively with structure imperfections than carbon atoms. At high temperatures the solubility of carbon and boron in given phase increases.

Sb distribution in the phases of SiO2 saturated Sb-Fe-O-SiO2-CaO system has been determined for the first time through high-temperature experiment and quenching techniques, followed by Electron probe X-ray microanalysis(EPMA) in air(Ptot= 1 atm, PO2= 0.21 atm). The phases were quantified in the temperature range of 900?C-1200?C and the effects of Fe/SiO2(mass fraction) and CaO/SiO2(mass fraction) on Sb2O3 content in the Sb-Fe-O-SiO2-CaO system were investigated at 1200?C. The results indicate that the Sb-containing phase primarily existed in the solid solution phase at 1200?C. With the increase of temperature from 1100?C to 1200?C, the Sb2O3 content in the solid solution phase increased drastically from 7.52 wt% to 17.36 wt%. Lowering the values of CaO/SiO2 and Fe/SiO2 in the smelting process effectively reduced Sb2O3 content in the slag. The verification experiment results suggest that the antimony content in slag was 0.57 wt%, the crude antimony yield rate was lower than 4%,and the crude antimony grade was beyond 94 wt%, which can achieve the reduction of antimony content in the slag.

For Fe-В and Fe-В-С system alloys one of the structure constituent is iron boride Fe2B but in the literature there is no information on carbon solubility limit in iron boride Fe2В. The object of this paper is to reveal the effect of carbon on the physical and structural properties of boride Fe2В. Investigation was performed for the specimens with carbon content of 0,05 - 0,80 % (wt.) and boron content of 9,0 - 15,0 % (wt.), the rest is iron. To determine the physical properties of alloys we use microstructure analysis, X-ray microanalysis and X-ray structural analysis. It is found that carbon doping of boride Fe2В leads to a feeble lattice strain and effects on the physical characteristics of boride. We estimate the free energy of boride Fe2B and carbon content in Fe2B phase. Carbon can substitute up to 3 – 8 % of boron atoms in Fe2B phase depending on the temperature which is verified by experimental data. The carbon solubility in this phase is also examined.

It is known that solubility of elements affects the phase composition of alloys that are formed in the solidification process. To predict the phase composition of alloys, it is necessary to determine the solubility limit in the phases. In the paper the structural properties of austenite of alloys in the system of Fe-B-C are studied and the solubility limit of boron and carbon is determined. The investigation is carried out for the specimens with carbon content of 0.0001–2.3 wt.% and boron content of 0.0001–1.0 wt.%, the rest is iron. To determine the physical properties of alloys, we use the microstructure analysis, X-ray microanalysis, X-ray structure analysis and differential thermal analysis. It is shown experimentally that the maximum shift of the eutectoid point is observed when boron content is up to 0.004 wt.%. When boron content of the alloy increases to 0.01 wt.%, the eutectoid point shifts to the left to 0.21 wt.%-carbon and the austenite area decreases. Further increase in the numerical value of boron content in the alloy is hardly caused the eutectoid point to shift. In this paper, the vertical section of the Fe-B-C system state diagram is obtained from experimental data. For the first time we obtain temperature dependence of the free energy of γ-iron solid solution, using the quasi-chemical method, and determine the solubility limit of carbon and boron. The maximum weight fraction of boron in the austenite can be up to 0.0136 wt.%, and that for carbon – up to 1.12 wt.%.


The study was performed on alloys with a carbon content of 0.37-0.57% (wt.), silicon 0.23-0.29% (wt.), manganese 0.7‑0.86% (wt.), the rest– iron. To determine the phase composition of alloys used microstructural, microanalysis and X-ray analysis. In addition, the physical characteristics of the alloys studied in this paper were determined, such as alloy chemical dependence of extension and contraction ratio, impact toughness and hardness. The results obtained in this paper showed that the iron-based alloy with the content of carbon of 0.57 % (wt.), silicon of 0.28 % (wt.) and manganese of 0.86 % (wt.)) had the superior microstructure and physical properties. It was determined that after a number of crystallization and phase transformation the alloy phase structure includes two phases: a-iron and cement magnesium dopingFe2.7Mn0,3C. For the first time using the method quasi-chemistry received an expression of the free energy of a solid solution α-iron alloyed with silicon and magnesium, and determined the solubility limit of carbon, manganese and silicon. In δ-iron may dissolve to 0.09% (wt.) carbon, manganese up to 3.5% (wt.), silicon – 0.25% (wt.). The maximum content in α-iron can reach: carbon – 0.017% (wt.), manganese – 21% (wt.), silicon – 1.3% (wt.).

Abstract Cesium hydroxide, CsOH, was for the first time characterised on the basis of single-crystal data. The structure is isotypic to the one of the room-temperature modification of NaOH and can be derived from the NaCl structure type thus allowing the comparison of all alkali metal hydroxide structures. Raman spectroscopic investigations show the hydroxide anion to behave almost as a free ion as in the gas phase. The X-ray investigations indicate possible H atom positions.

Wear-resistant Cu-based solid-solution-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy with a microstructure consisting of predominantly the dual-phase primary dendrites with a Cr5Si3 core encapsulated by CrSi phase and a small amount of interdendritic Cu-based solid solution (Cuss) was designed and fabricated by the laser melting process using Cr–Si–Cu elemental powder blends as the precursor materials. The microstructure of the Cuss-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy was characterized by optical microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The Cuss-toughened silicide alloys have excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction under room temperature dry sliding wear test conditions with hardened 0.45% C carbon steel as the sliding–mating counterpart.

For the first time, particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) spectra were obtained using TlBr detectors. The TlBr detector was fabricated from a crystal grown with material purified by the zone purification. Its active volume was 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm × 3.1 mm, and it exhibited an energy resolution of a 6.2 keV full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) for 59.5 keV at room temperature. The detector was installed into a PIXE system at Aomori Prefecture Quantum Science Center. A Pb plate target in the PIXE chamber was irradiated with a 20 MeV proton beam, and X-ray peaks for Pb K[Formula: see text] and K[Formula: see text] were successfully detected by the TlBr detector at room temperature.

A series of mixed fluoride compositions with PbF2 and ScF3 were prepared by heating the intimate mixtures of component fluorides at 600 °C for 10 h followed by slowly cooling to room temperature. The products obtained were analyzed by powder XRD to reveal the phases present in them and hence the low-temperature phase equilibria in the PbF2-ScF3 system. The phase equilibria show the fluorite-type solid solution up to the composition of about 15 mol% of ScF3 in the PbF2 lattice. The unit cell volume decreases with increasing ScF3 contents in the fluorite-type solid solutions. Beyond the solubility limit, the biphasic mixture of the cubic fluorite-type solid solution and leftover ScF3 is found to exist.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the physical stability as well as viscoelastic properties of the binary amorphous ezetimibe–simvastatin system. According to our knowledge, this is the first time that such an amorphous composition is prepared and investigated. The tendency toward re-crystallization of the amorphous ezetimibe–simvastatin system, at both standard storage and elevated temperature conditions, have been studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). Our investigations have revealed that simvastatin remarkably improves the physical stability of ezetimibe, despite the fact that it works as a plasticizer. Pure amorphous ezetimibe, when stored at room temperature, begins to re-crystallize after 14 days after amorphization. On the other hand, the ezetimibe-simvastatin binary mixture (at the same storage conditions) is physically stable for at least 1 year. However, the devitrification of the binary amorphous composition was observed at elevated temperature conditions (T = 373 K). Therefore, we used a third compound to hinder the re-crystallization. Finally, both the physical stability as well as viscoelastic properties of the ternary systems containing different concentrations of the latter component have been thoroughly investigated.

A new type of antiferromagnetic CoAl2O4 coated ferromagnetic Co solid solution is synthesized by arc-discharging. Typical HRTEM images show that the nanocapsules form in a core-shell structure. The size of the nanocapsules is in range of 10-90 nm and the thickness of the shell is about 3-10 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that the core consists of Co solid solution, while the shell is CoAl2O4. The magnetic field and temperature dependence of magnetizations confirm that the Co solid solution nanocapsules are basically in the ferromagnetic state below Curie temperature. In addition, the antiferromagnetic order occurs with Neél temperature TN of about 5 K. The saturation magnetization of Ms = 76.1 Am2/kg and the coercive force of Hc= 23.28 kA/m are achieved at room temperature for the Co solid solution nanocapsules.
