Be-Fe (Beryllium-Iron)
H. Okamoto and L.E. Tanner
The assessed equilibrium diagram for the Be-Fe system is based primarily on
review of the experimental work of [16Oes], [29Wev], [48Gor], [48Tei], [59Gel]
, [60Gel], [62Don], [63Heu], [65Ham], [75Ko], [78Myc], and [82Jon] and
represents an update of the diagram of [79Ald], using more recent data
provided by [75Ko] and [82Jon]. The former confirmed the (aFe) solvus trend
observed by [63Heu].
The assessed diagram has been obtained by thermodynamic modeling. Three
intermediate phases exist in the Be-Fe system-e, d, and z. The e and d phases
in the present evaluation have been adopted from [82Jon]. The former
corresponds to the e Hume-Rothery phases. The MgCu2-type d phase, which was
called e by [49Tei], [Hansen], and [Elliott], has the same structure and a
nearly identical lattice parameter as the d phase in the Be-Cu system. The
nomenclature of the MnZn2-type z phase used in this evaluation has been
adopted from [Hultgren,B]. The z phase in the Be-Co diagram has a similar
composition range, although its structure is different. The present evaluators
reserve g for the Ni5Zn21-type phases in the Be-Co and Be-Ni phase diagrams.
Because [32Slo] found double thermal arrests in Be, the presence of an
allotropic transformation in Be had been disputed when [48Tei] investigated
the Be-Fe phase diagram. [48Tei] explained the complicated arrest behaviors
observed in the composition range between 0 and 8 at.% Fe as resulting from
impurities present in the specimens rather than as the effect of an allotropic
transformation of Be. Subsequently, [60Gel] clarified the phase relationship
between (bBe) and (aBe), suggesting that the specimens used by [48Tei] were of
higher purity than previously thought. The (bBe) = (aBe) + d eutectoid
transformation temperature is 1205 C [82Jon].
The maximum solid solubility of Fe in (aBe) is about 0.9 at.% at 1205 C.
Alloys with 2.3 and 5 at.% Fe are not superconducting, at least above 0.45 K [
67Ols].
The homogeneity range of e has not been clarified. [48Tei] estimated the
maximum transition temperature of e as ~1175 or 1188 C from the trend of the
d/[e + d] boundary extrapolated to 8 at.% Fe. The phase boundaries of this
phase in the assessed diagram are tentative.
The d phase covers the composition range form ~7 to 18 at.% Fe. The L + z = d
peritectic temperature was determined by [48Gor] as 1375 C from an arrest
point in a 20 at.% Fe alloy and has been accepted in all subsequent reviews. [
48Gor] reported the point at 20 at.% Fe and 1355 C as the [L + d]/d boundary.
However, according to the assessed diagram, this is not the case. Therefore,
the peritectic temperature of 1375 C may have to be reinvestigated.
X-ray investigations by [48Tei] on specimens quenched from 1200 and 1025 C
and on specimens annealed at 530 C for a month suggested that the Be-rich
phase boundary of the z phase is about 21 at.% Fe. The congruent melting point
is 1463 C at 28 at.% Fe [82Jon].
The solidus boundary of (aFe) is not well defined, because the limited
experimental data available are outdated.
The two-phase field between (gFe) and (aFe) was not discerned experimentally.
The assessed diagram is based on the present thermodynamic modeling.
Because the solid solubility of Be in (aFe) decreases significantly at low
temperatures from the value near the eutectic temperature, the age hardening
process of this phase was studied extensively. The various investigators
agreed that several intermediate stages exist before the final equilibrium
condition is attained, but disagreed about the details of the phases.
The initial stage of age hardening is a composition modulation of the
homogeneous bcc (aFe) structure [84Mil1]. Eventually, the modulations develop
into metastable precipitates with structures related to the matrix. It is
generally agreed that the modulation gives rise to two phases, (aFe) depleted
in Be and CsCl-type metastable BeFe (b), at least at low temperatures. Finally,
the stable precipitate, Be2Fe, forms. Therefore, metastable phase diagrams
vary depending on the stage of the precipitation process they represent.
[78Tya] reported that the A2 phase shows a miscibility gap in the metastable
state. The A2/B2 transition is second order at high temperatures and a
metastable miscibility gap exists in B2 [84Mil2]. Only [68Nak] showed the BiF3-
type (D03) BeFe3 in the metastable phase diagram. [66Dav] found the D03 phase
in an ordered B2 matrix of 27 at.% Be. [65Bol] obtained pure BeFe3 with the
long-range order parameter better than 0.9. BeFe3 appears to be a transient
phase.
The Curie temperature of aFe is 770 C [82Swa]. The change of magnetic moment
in (aFe) is 2.216 - 2.01(XBe)) mB [69Her]. [35Mis1] found that Be2Fe (z) is
ferromagnetic with a magnetic transition temperature at 521 to 524 C. The
change of magnetic moment in z is 3.07 - 3.65 (1 - XBe) mB [69Her]. The d
phase also becomes ferromagnetic at liquid air temperature [35Mis]. The Curie
temperature is 75 K [67Her]. The Curie temperature of a 33.3 at.% Fe alloy is
643 C [51Mey].
