Cu-Fe (Copper-Iron)
L.J. Swartzendruber
The assessed Fe-Cu phase diagram is based primarily on the experimental data
of [14Rue], [17Rue], [24Han], [30Tam], [35Nor], [36Mad], [57Hel], [58Nak], [
60Wri], [61Qur], and [66Boc] and has been obtained by thermodynamic modeling.
The equilibrium phases are (1) the liquid, L; (2) the fcc Cu-rich solid
solution, (Cu) (often called the e phase); (3) a high-temperature Fe-rich bcc
solid solution, (dFe); (4) an intermediate-temperature Fe-rich fcc solid
solution, (gFe); and (5) a low-temperature Fe-rich bcc solid solution, (aFe).
The assessed liquidus is based primarily on the measurements of [36Mad], [
58Nak], [57Hel], and [80Lin] and on the thermodynamic calculations of [77Kub]
, [80Has], and [84Chu]. Many early measurements of the Fe-Cu liquidus [14Rue,
17Rue] reported the presence of a liquid miscibility gap. However, a number
of subsequent investigations reported that the mutual solubility in the liquid
might depend on the presence of impurities, especially carbon. The situation
was considerably clarified by [36Mad] and [38Iwa]. In particular, [38Iwa]
found that no liquid phase separation occurs if the alloys contain less than 0.
02 to 0.03 wt.% C. They also reported that additions of 1 wt.% Al, Ni, Pb, Sn,
or Zn caused no liquid segregation in 50 wt.% Cu alloys. [50Smi] confirmed the
effect of C, finding insignificant segregation for alloys containing 0.1 or
less wt.% C and clear segregation for 0.2 or more wt.% C, with most of the C
contained in the Fe-rich liquid.
[34Smi] also reported liquid segregation in a 50 wt.% Cu alloy with
approximately 1 wt.% Si.
A miscibility gap for supercooled liquids was determined experimentally by [
58Nak], whose results are in substantial agreement with the thermodynamic
calculations of [84Chu]. The earlier data require correction to IPTS-68. In
addition, correction to the reference points for pure Fe and pure Cu is often
needed. This correction contains considerable uncertainty and is to some
extent arbitrary. The data points in the assessed diagram have been corrected
by linear interpolation. The error limits assigned to these measurements vary
with the experimental data.
Addition of Cu to Fe tends to stabilize the fcc structure and to lower the
melting temperature, restricting the range of (dFe) stability. The
measurements of [08Sah], [14Rue], [36Mad], [38Iwa], and [57Hel], corrected to
IPTS-68 and to the reference points of 1538 C for the melting temperature of
pure Fe, when combined with the thermodynamic calculations of [84Chu], give a
maximum solubility of Cu in (dFe) of 6.7 с 1 at.% Cu at the (dFe) + L <259> (
gFe) 1485 с 10 C peritectic point. At the peritectic, (dFe) is in equilibrium
with (gFe), containing 7.2 с 1 at.% Cu and L containing 11.5 с 1 at.% Cu.
As shown by the measurements of [80Lin] and the thermodynamic calculations of [
80Has] and [84Chu], Cu exhibits a retrograde solubility of (gFe), reaching a
maximum solubility of 12 с 2 at.% Cu at approximately 1410 C. The maximum
solubility of Cu in aFe is 1.88 с 0.5 at.% Cu at the eutectoid temperature of
850 с 5 C. The maximum Fe solubility in (Cu) is 3.5 с 0.5 at.% Fe at the
peritectic temperature of 1096 с 5 C.
Below the eutectoid temperature (850 C), Fe forms large coherent clusters in
the fcc Cu matrix. In an alloy containing 2.7 at.% Fe, [56Den] found that
coherent iron precipitates could not be easily transformed to the stable bcc
form by thermal treatment alone, but the transformation is readily
accomplished by plastic deformation. [57New] also found evidence that the Fe
precipitate first forms as coherent platelets parallel to the [111] planes of
the matrix lattice. Loss of coherency can be obtained by cold working or by
charged particle irradiation [56Den]. Magnetic [61Ber] and M”ssbauer [70Ben]
measurements show that before the formation of coherent precipitates very
small superparamagnetic clusters (the so-called g2 Fe) are formed. [65Kle] has
demonstrated that very rapid quenching can produce solid solutions containing
up to approximately 7 at.% Fe. M”ssbauer effect studies [69Lah] indicate that
bcc Cu-rich clusters precede precipitation of the fcc (Cu) in (dFe).
Measurements of the M”ssbauer isomer shift at room temperature for dilute Fe
in (Cu) were made by [65Edg] up to 20 GPa (200 kbar). No transitions were
detected.
According to [17Rue], the Curie temperature of (aFe) saturated with Cu is 10
C lower than that for pure aFe. A linear decrease with Cu concentration is
consistent with the measurements of [64Kne]. The effect of Cu additions to Fe
on the coercive force and remanence of iron was investigated by [50Rai], who
observed a maximum coercive force of about 120 Oe and a maximum remanence of
about 0.9 T.
The saturation moment of Fe atoms in (Cu) is 2.85 mB [67Hur], and a Curie-
Weiss law is obeyed at high temperatures [39Bit]. Isolated Fe atoms in (Cu)
undergo a spin compensation with a Kondo temperature of approximately 29 K [
72Ede]. Coherent metastable gFe precipitates in (Cu) are antiferromagnetic
with ~0.75 mB/atom and a N‚el temperature of approximately 67 K [82Rhy].
