기계적 합금화 Iron Silicide의 열간성형 및 열처리에 의한 상변화
Phase Transformation During Hot Consolidation and Heat Treatments in Mechanically Alloyed Iron Silicide
E-mail:
An n-type iron silicide(Fe 0.98 Co 0.02 Si 2 ) has been produced by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by vacuum hot pressing. Although as-milled powders after 120 hours of milling did not show an alloying progress, β?FeSi 2 phase transformation was induced by isothermal annealing at 830?C for 1 hour, and the fully transformed β?FeSi 2 phase was obtained after 4 hours of annealing. Near fully dense specimen was obtained after vacuum hot pressing at 1100?C with a stress of 60MPa. However, as-consolidated iron silicides were consisted of untransformed mixture of \Alpha?Fe 2 Si 5 and {\varepsilon-FeSi phases. Thus, isothermal annealing has been carried out to induce the transformation to a thermoelectric semiconducting β?FeSi 2 phase. The condition for β?FeSi 2 transformation was investigated by utilizing DTA, SEM, and XRD analysis. The phase transformation was shown to be taken place by a vacuum isothermal annealing at 830?C and the transformation behaviour was investigated as a function of annealing time. The mechanical properties of β?FeSi 2 materials before and after isothermal annealing were characterized in this study.
