Si-Zr (Silicon-Zirconium)
H. Okamoto
The assessed phase diagram for the Si-Zr system is based primarily on [76Koc],
with review of the experimental data of [53Lun], [54Kie], [62Erm], and [68Bru].
The data of [76Koc] are accepted as the experimental basis for the liquidus in
the assessed diagram. The liquidus temperatures between 10 and 60 at.% Zr are
significantly higher than those given in previous diagrams, which were based
primarily on [53Lun] and [54Kie]. The liquidus data of [76Koc] obtained by
thermal analysis are preferred to those of [54Kie] obtained by using an
optical method.
The composition of the Zr-rich eutectic reaction, 91.2 at.% Zr, is accepted
from [53Lun]. The eutectic temperature is 1570 [76Koc], 1575 с 5 [68Bru], or
1610 C [53Lun]. The former appears to be defined better.
No solubility of Zr in (Si) was detected [51Joh]. The solubility is
considerably less than 5 wt.% (1.6 at.%) Zr [53Lun].
There has been confusion regarding Si2Zr3 since [53Lun] reported its existence.
[57Dau] and [61Sch] confirmed the existence of Si2Zr3 by determining its
crystal structure. The peritectic formation temperature is 2215 C [76Koc], in
good agreement with 2210 C [53Lun]. On the other hand, [68Bru] considered
Si2Zr3 to melt congruently at 2325 с 25 C. Although the melting temperatures
of Si4Zr5 and Si2Zr3 are in disagreement, the liquidus trends observed by [
68Bru] and [76Koc] in this composition range are alike.
Si3Zr5 exists in a limited temperature range between 2180 and 1745 C [76Koc]
. According to [56Bre], impurity elements such as oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen
stabilize Si3Zr5. Consequently, Si5Zr6 (Si4Zr5?), Si2Zr3, SiZr2, and SiZr4 (
SiZr3?) are disproportionated when impure Zr is used. This impurity
problem was probably the reason why [54Kie] observed Si3Zr5 as the most
dominant phase in the Si-Zr system, with the highest congruent melting
temperature at 2250 C, although Si3Zr5 was not detected by [53Lun].
It is assumed in this evaluation that SiZr3 is the same as "SiZr4", which was
previously reported by numerous investigators. The reason for the absence of
this phase in some studies may be the stabilization of Si3Zr5, caused by the
presence of very small amounts of impurity [56Bre, 61Sch]. Alternatively, [
60Aro] proposed that "SiZr4" is stable only in a restricted temperature range.
"SiZr4" is not stable below 1200 C [62Sch] or above 1500 C [68Bru]. The
solid solubility of Si is less than 1.6 [49She] or less than 0.6 [53Lun] at.%.
The solubility of 9 at.% at 1000 C reported by [52Rob] may be too high.
A thermal arrest corresponding to the (bZr) <259> (aZr) eutectoid
transformation was observed at 870 с 5 C [52Rob]. For this type of reaction,
the temperature is too high with respect to the allotropic transformation
temperature of pure Zr at 863 C. [53Lun] could not determine whether the
reaction is eutectoid or peritectoid type. Therefore, the invariant
temperature in the assessed diagram is shown at 863 C. The solid solubility
of Si in (aZr) is less than 0.3 at.% [53Lun].
