Fe-H (Iron-Hydrogen)
A. San-Martin and F.D. Manchester
The phase diagram for the Fe-H system at atmospheric pressure consists of (1)
a and (2) d, two solid solutions of H based on the low- and high-temperature
bcc forms of pure Fe; (3) g, the solid solution of H based on the fcc form of
pure Fe; and (4) the liquid, L. In metal-hydrogen systems, the equilibrium
pressure of the H surrounding the metal is always a significant thermodynamic
variable, in contrast to most situations involving metallic alloys.
The phase boundaries in the assessed diagram have been calculated and are
based on review of the experimental data [69Gon, 70Ori, 76Bun, 76Sil1, 76Sil2,
78Vol, 79Pre, 80Ant, 80Hir, 83Kiu]. They represent the maximum assessed H
solubility in solid and liquid Fe at P = 0.1 MPa and do not necessarily
demarcate the range of existence of equilibrium phases.
The dissolved quantities of H are small; the atomic ratio X (X = H/Fe) ranges
from 7 x 10-4 just below the melting temperature of Fe and to less than 3 x
10-8 at room temperature. Therefore, the effects of H on the temperatures of
the three-phase equilibria should also be small and difficult to measure. The
lowering of the melting point of Fe by 1.8 C proposed by [50Gel] and
corroborated experimentally by [77Bun] has been incorporated into the assessed
diagram.
At hydrogen pressures higher than the normal (normal conditions imply
atmospheric pressure and room temperature), the H solubility in Fe increases,
and the position of the critical points is displaced [76Bun]. From an
investigation extending up to hydrogen pressures of 100 MPa, [77Sha1]
concluded that the major changes occur at pressures of up to 25 to 30 MPa and
that further increases in pressure do not introduce noticeable changes. At 40
MPa pressure, the dissolved H appreciably reduces the melting point of Fe and
broadens the existence range of gFe [76Bun1, 77Sha2].
The temperatures for the corresponding three-phase equilibria at 40 MPa are
1508 C for L = d + H2 (eutectic-type or gas eutectic [77Sha1]), 1408 C for d
+ H2 = g (peritectoid-type or gas peritectoid [81Sha]), and 894 C for g = a +
H2 (eutectoid-type or gas eutectoid [81Sha]). [77Sha1] estimated that the
boundaries of the gas eutectic and the gas peritectic equilibria will come
close together and finally merge in a four-phase equilibrium line at around 42.
5 MPa and 1495 C.
Under normal conditions, the solubility of H in pure solid Fe is very small
and increases only at hydrogen pressures in the GPa range, where the formation
of a new phase has been reported. [80Ant] reported on the formation of e phase
by holding Fe samples 10 h in hydrogen at pressures of 6.7 GPa at 250 C. The
transformation of the original Fe sample into e phase was only partial, and it
was successfully preserved at atmospheric pressure by quenching down to -180
C. At atmospheric pressure, the composition of the cph phase varied between 0.
65 and 0.81 с0.03 and decomposed to hydrogen and bcc aFe at -120 C [80Ant].
The e phase is ferromagnetic with a Curie point TC above 80 K and a value of
spontaneous magnetization (at atmospheric pressure and T = 0 K) similar to
that for pure aFe [81Ant].
[38Sie] reported that the hysteresis effects associated with the g = d
transformation [32Luc] are variable and are controlled by diffusion kinetics.
Transforming to g phase, the solubility increases and values in this phase are
higher than in a phase. The a = g transition is also marked by a solubility
increase and exhibit a hysteresis similar to that of the g = d transition [
38Sie].
[76Sil2] found that in the temperature range from the a <259> g transformation
down to around 300 C the purity of aFe and the presence of grain boundaries
do not have a significant effect on solubility.
