Co-Cr (Cobalt-Chromium)
K. Ishida and T. Nishizawa
The equilibrium phases of the Co-Cr system are (1) the liquid, L; (2) the fcc
solid solution, (aCo); (3) the cph solid solution, (eCo); (4) the bcc solid
solution, (aCr); and (5) the intermetallic compound, s phase. The assessed
phase diagram is based on the experimental data and thermodynamic calculations
of [78All] and [82Has]. The phase diagram is somewhat different from that of [
Hansen], especially in the solid phase equilibria above 1200 C. The
intermediate phase d proposed by [49Els] was not found by the high-temperature
X-ray diffraction examination of [78All].
The liquidus and solidus lines for the Cr-rich side of the diagram have not
been established due to the difficulty of preparation of high-purity specimens
and the high-temperature measurements.
Determination of phase equilibria between (aCo) and (eCo) in the Co-rich
portion below 800 C is difficult because of sluggish diffusion in attaining
equilibrium. This portion of the assessed phase diagram is based on
the thermodynamic calculations of [82Has], which suggests that the two-phase
separation to the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases occurs in both the (
aCo) and (eCo) phases due to the magnetic effect. These phase equilibria at
low temperatures are important not only from the thermodynamic viewpoint, but
also in the practical sense, because the perpendicular magnetic recording
system developed by [78Iwa] uses Co-Cr thin films to memorize a large quantity
of information. It is highly possible that the Co-rich columnar crystals of
cph with [0001] axis surrounded by a Cr-rich paramagnetic matrix are the units
of fine memory [86Mae]. The great possibility of the origin of the modulated
structure is due to the magnetic-induced miscibility gap in the
(eCo) phase [86Mae].
The allotropic transformation of pure Cr from bcc to a high-temperature
structure has been suggested many times, but the evidence is so questionable
that the aCr phase is probably stable at all temperatures below
the melting point [Pearson2]. Pure Cr of the special structure dCr is produced
by evaporation and condensation in a pure argon atmosphere at low pressures,
whereas the ordinary bcc structure is formed when the argon contains a small
amount of air or oxygen [67Kim]. The (dCr) phase was confirmed to exist in the
composition range greater than 57 at.% Cr. A metastable Ni3Sn-type ordered
structure of Co3Cr was reported by [69Sin], but the evidence to support this
phase is not strong because it was ascertained by the presence of only one
weak superlattice line (101).
[76Gud] investigated the crystal structure in splat-cooled Co - (10 to ~65.
8) at.% Cr alloys from the liquid state. The (aCo) phase is stabilized up to
65.8 at.% Cr and the (aCr) phase crystallizes instead of formation of s phase.
Pure Cr is antiferromagnetic and the N‚el temperature is 38.5 C [85And].
Antiferromagnetic ordering in the s phase was estimated from the magnetic
specific heat at low temperatures by [83Mar]. The N‚el temperature is close to
that of pure Cr.
