Phase analysis of multicomponent alloys using an Ni50Co25Mo25 alloy as an example

Resumo

method for phase analysis of three-component alloys is proposed. It is based on a pair interaction model and an experimental determination of the sign of pair chemical interaction energy and includes an electron-microscopic investigation of microstructures above and below the ordering–separation phase transition temperature for each diffusion couple. This method is used to study an Ni₅₀Co₂₅Mo₂₅ alloy. The phases that precipitate in this alloy over the entire heating temperature range, including the liquid state, are detected.
