Mechanically driven dissolution of Sn in near-equiatomic bcc FeCo.
Résumé
Ternary alloys, (Fe50−x/2Co50−x/2)Snx (x ≤ 33 at.%), are prepared by mechanical alloying from powder mixtures of the three elements. As-milled alloys are studied by X-ray diffraction and 57Fe and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The solubility of Sn in near-equiatomic bcc FeCo is increased from ~0.5 at. % at equilibrium to ~20 at.% in the used milling conditions. The average 119Sn hyperfine magnetic field at room temperature is larger, for any x, than the corresponding fields in mechanically alloyed Fe-Sn solid solutions.
