Be-Ni (Beryllium-Nickel)
H. Okamoto and L.E. Tanner
Although the phase diagram for the Be-Ni system has been investigated
extensively, it has not been established conclusively. The assessed diagram is
adopted tentatively from [80Fri], with review of the experimental data of [
29Mas], [37Ger], [39Oka], [42Los], [50Kau], [59Gel], [60Gel], [61Blo], [62Amo],
and [76Jon]. Within the framework of the present thermodynamic modeling, the
b phase field was hard to model because of the asymmetry in its homogeneity
range and in the L + b two-phase fields.
The equilibrium phases in the assessed diagram are (1) the liquid, L; (2) the
bcc (bBe) phase, with a maximum solubility of ~10 at.% Ni and with a congruent
melting point at ~1390 C and 8 at.% Ni; (3) the cph (aBe) phase, with a
maximum solubility of ~4.5 at.% Ni at the (bBe) = (aBe) + g eutectoid
temperature of 1062 C and with a maximum transition temperature to (bBe) of
1283 C at ~2 at.% Ni; (4) the g-brass type g phase and fcc g› phase in the
composition range between 11.5 and 19 at.% Ni, with a congruent melting point
of ~1395 C at 16 at.% Ni; (5) the CsCl-type b phase in the composition range
between 25 and 51.6 at.% Ni, with a congruent melting point at 1605 C; and (6)
the fcc terminal solid solution, (Ni), with a maximum solubility of 15 at.%
Be at the L = b + (Ni) eutectic temperature of 1150 C. The solubility of Be
in (Ni) can be increased to >11.7 at.% at 700 C by neutron irradiation [77Gri]
.
Stabilization of (bBe) by quenching has been attempted. (bBe) could not be
retained by [63Pap] or [80Fri]. Its transition temperature was lowered to 242
C when a 8.46 at.% Ni alloy was quenched from 1186 C at 14 000 C/s [61Gel].
[64Pap] reported that (bBe) could be retained when a liquid with 8 at.% Ni was
quenched on a copper plate cooled by liquid nitrogen, but could not be
identified by X-ray studies because the diffraction lines superimposed with
those of the g phase.
The superconducting transition temperature of a 10 at.% Ni alloy as arc melted
or quenched from 1200 C into water was about 2.4 K, which was considered to
be due to the stabilized (bBe) phase [67Ols]. Because retention of (bBe) may
have been prevented by the heat treatments used by [67Ols], the observed
superconductivity may have been due to the g phase.
Supersaturated (aBe) with Ni can be prepared as a martensitically transformed
phase by quenching from the (bBe) phase field [63Pap, 64Pap]. [61Pic] reported
that an 8.46 at.% Ni alloy is hypereutectic, which is presumably related to (
aBe) and g, because (bBe) cannot be retained.
Because of their wide homogeneity range, the g and g› phases have been
referred to with various stoichiometries. [35Mis] found the Be21Ni5 (19.2 at.%
Ni) phase in the composition range 17.5 to 18.1 at.% Ni. Judging from its
structure (distorted g-brass type) and composition, it may have been the
ordered fcc g› phase in the assessed diagram. A g-brass type phase, g,
also exists. The transition from g to g› is not well defined. [80Fri] showed a
vertical line at 14 at.% Ni separating the two phases, with g on the Be-rich
side. Because the g phase was found in a wider composition range beyond 14 at.%
Ni, the assessed diagram was drawn with a transition boundary having an
arbitrary slope (this is subject to further study). The Ni-rich end of the g›
phase field also needs further study.
Because of significant disagreement between [42Los] and [80Fri], the phase
boundaries of the b phase need confirmatory studies.
Because of the large (~15 at.%) equilibrium solubility of Be in (Ni) at the
eutectic temperature and small solubilities at low temperatures (~2 at.% at
400 C), the aging process of (Ni) has been studied in detail. The series of
metastable phases that form during the course of aging of the (Ni)
solid solution are analogous to those observed for aging fcc (Cu) in Be-Cu.
[65Dec] listed g›BeNi3 as a metastable phase. No detail was given. [70Maz]
found bct b›, which exists as a semi-coherent phase in an Fe-40% Ni alloy
matrix hardened with Be. The composition of b› is between b and g›BeNi3. [
77Var] found an orthorhombic metastable phase in rapidly quenched alloys with
compositions ranging from 64.5 to 68.5 at.% Ni. The relation to g›BeNi3 is not
known.
A 31.5 at.% Ni alloy consists of b and an unidentified phase, which is not
Be21Ni5(g›) [62Jor]. No further information is available.
The Curie temperature of Ni is 354.2 C [82Rhy]. The variation with Be content
was measured by [37Ger] and [39Oka]; the discrepancy of about 60 C between [
37Ger] and [39Oka] has not been resolved. [75Bis] expressed the data of [37Ger]
as 631.4 - 22.0 XBe K, where XBe is the atomic fraction of Be. The average
magnetic moment per atom is 0.616 - 2.13 XBe mB [67Her].
