When RE content increases, the microstructure changes to peritectic structure. Moreover, the eutectic point of Sn Pb alloy deviates because the affinity of RE for Sn, which results in the existence of primary Pb rich phases contained hypocutectic grown layers. Sn RE intermetallic compound has no effect on the solidification of Sn Pb alloy.展开更多

The effect of the dendrite, grain boundaries, twin boundaries, and REFe_3 precipitates on the magnetostrictive response of the (Tb_(0.3)Dy_(0.7))Fe_(1.95) alloys was analyzed respectively. The experiment results demonstrate that the dendrite, twin boundaries, and REFe_3 precipitates can be avoided by modifying alloying ingredient, solidification parameters and annealing technique. The dendritic growth front often leads to dendrite sheet, rare earth-rich phase, and twin boundaries. The lower proportion of rare earth, or slow solidification rate, results in the occurrence of REFe_3 precipitatates. It is vital for diminishing the defects to control the undercooling of solid-liquid interface at (2.4～5.1)×10~4 K·s·cm^(-2) so that the crystal grows in cellular growth front.展开更多
The structure and magnetostriction of R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_y alloys(R=Dy_(0.65)Tb_(0.25)Pr_(0.1),x≤0.3,y=1.8 and 2) have been investigated using metallography, X-ray diffraction, electron probe micro- analysis(EPMA) and ...The structure and magnetostriction of R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_y alloys(R=Dy_(0.65)Tb_(0.25)Pr_(0.1),x≤0.3,y=1.8 and 2) have been investigated using metallography, X-ray diffraction, electron probe micro- analysis(EPMA) and standard strain gauge techniques.It was found that the matrix of R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_2 alloys is cubic Laves phase(Dy,Tb,Pr)(Fe,Al)_2 and the second phase is PuNi3-type (Dy,Tb,Pr)(Fe,Al)_3 when x<0.15.The R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_(1.8) alloys contain trace of rare earth-rich phase.The magnetostriction of R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_y alloys decreases with increasing x in high magnetic fields; however, it exhibits a peak when x = 0.05 in low magnetic fields(H≤ 160 kA / m).The magnetostriction of R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_(1.8) alloys is higher than that of R(Fe_(1-x)Al_x)_2 alloys when x<0.15.展开更多

Low NbC-content was found to affect the oriented grain growth and slightly improve the〈100〉ori-entation. Flat grain boundaries in the alloys with low NbC contents less than 0.2at%became greatly curved at higher NbC contents, and a large amount of Nb-rich precipitates were observed in the alloys with high NbC contents. Small amounts of NbC, less than 0.2at%, resulted in an increase in magnetostrictive strain due to the improvement of the〈100〉orientation, and a high magnetostrictive strain value of 335 ×10^-6 under a pre-stress of 15 MPa was obtained in the 0.1at%NbC-doped alloys. The magnetostrictive performance obviously decreased with the NbC addition higher than 0.5at%, and the strain sensitivity under no pre-stress was lower than that in the binary Fe？Ga alloy.展开更多
