Title: Continuous solid solution of {kappa}-phase in the third period transition metals-aluminum-carbon pseudo-ternary systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001660

Phase stability of {kappa}-phases (perovskite-type phases) was studied in the third-period transition-metals (M: Mn to Cu) - aluminum (Al) - carbon (C) systems. The concentrations of transition metals (C{sub M}) were systematically changed from 60mol%Mn to 20mol%Ni+40mol%Cu along the periodic table under the constant nominal alloy compositions of C{sub M1}+C{sub M2} = 60mol%, C{sub Al} = 20mol% and C{sub C} = 20mol%. Alloys were prepared using mechanical alloying and hot pressing. Constituent phases were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. It is confirmed that Mn{sub 3}Al(C,O){sub 0.95}, Fe{sub 3}Al(C,O){sub 0.87}, Co{sub 3}Al(C,O){sub 0.6} and Ni{sub 3}Al(C,O){sub 0.26} exist in their ternary systems where oxygen is introduced during the process. Also, only one {kappa}-phase is recognized in an alloy having an intermediate composition in every system. This suggests that continuous solid solutions between these {kappa}-phases are formed in the pseudo-ternary systems. Composition dependence of lattice parameter is discussed.
