摘要
The effect of Si on the growth kinetics of intermetallic compounds during the reaction of solid iron and molten aluminum was investigated with a scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, and hot-dip aluminized experiments. The results show that the intermetallic layer is composed of major Fe2Al5 and minor FeAl3. The Al-Fe-Si ternary phase, rl/rg, is formed in the Fe2Al5 layer. The tongue-like morphology of the Fe2Als layer becomes less distinct and disappears finally as the content of Si in aluminum bath increases. Si in the bath improves the prohibiting ability to the growth of Fe2Als and FeAl3. When the contents of Si are 0, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 3.0%, the activation energies of Fe2Al5 are evaluated to be 207, 186, 169, 168, 167 and 172 kJ/mol, respectively. The reduction of the activation energy might result from the lattice distortion caused by Si atom penetrating into the Fe2Al5 phase. When Si atom occupies the vacancy site, it blocks easy diffusion path and results in the disappearance of tongue-like morphology.
利用扫描电子显微镜能谱仪和热浸镀铝实验研究Si对铁铝固液扩散反应中间化合物生长动力学的影响。结果表明,中间层主要由Fe2Al5和薄层FeAl3组成。当向浸镀熔体中加入硅后,在镀层的Fe2Al5相中出现颗粒状的AlFeSi三元相(τ1/τ9)。舌状形貌的Fe2Al5层随着合金浴中Si含量的增加而逐步平整。合金浴中的Si显著抑制Fe2Al5和FeAl3的生长。当Si含量为0、0.5%、1.0%、1.5%、2.0%和3.0%时,Fe2Al5相的激活能分别为207、186、169、168、167和172kJ/mol。当Si原子进入Fe2Al5相时会引起晶格畸变,从而导致Fe2Al5的扩散激活能下降。Si原子占据空位时能够阻止扩散通道,抑制Fe2Al5相的生长,从而导致舌状形貌的消失。
