    Fe-Si Iron-Silicon

    Figs. 78, 79

    A set of interdependent thermodynamic values, consistent with the Fe-Si


    phase diagram, based on a critical assessment of all the published phase
    diagram and thermodynamic data has recently been submitted by Chart [1].
    Simultaneously, Schiirmann and Hensgen [2] re-determined the melting and
    solid state equilibria in the region Fe-FeSi of samples prepared from "Rein-
    Eisen" or electrolyte iron and Si of 99.6% purity. The results are based on
    thermal and differential thermal analyses as well as isothermal holding tests.
    The re-investigation confirmed the experimental results reported in the
    literature.
    The melting point of pure silicon has been accepted as (1,412 ± 2) °C
    (IPTS-68) [1, 10]. Figure 78 shows with minor modifications the phase diagram
    selected by [1]. This diagram incorporates experimental data recently reported
    by [2]. It is based primarily on the information presented by Hansen [A],
    Elliott [B], Shunk [C], Koster and Godecke [3, 4] and the theoretical and
    experimental work of Inden, Schlatte and Pitsch [5-9]. In addition the work
    of 32 investigators has been taken into account. The main qualitative dif-
    ference between the phase diagram proposed by [1] and that accepted by
    earlier critical assessments of the thermodynamical properties by Hultgren
    [D] and Chart [10] is the nature of the ordering reactions in the bcc Fe-rich
    solutions.
    The liquidus and solidus curves are essentially those accepted by [A]
    combined with data reported by Ubelacker [11-13] and confirmed by [2] for
    the Fe-rich region, the findings of [3, 4] and [2] for the area adjacent to
    FezSi and investigations by Piton and Fay [14] and Wachtel and Mager [15]
    of the region adjacent to FeSi z.
    The boundaries of the )'-loop have been adopted from the work of Fischer
    et al. [16] and of [11] whose observations are in excellent agreement. The
    (a +)') region at the vertex extends from 3.19-3.8 at. % Si, a lower concentration
    than that reported in earlier publications, owing probably to the higher
    purity of the alloys employed by [11] and [16] (Fig. 79).
    In the Fe-rich region, the bcc alloys exist in both ordered (B2 and D03) and
    disordered (A2) modifications and are referred to as az, al and a respectively.
    A considerable amount of experimental and theoretical work has been under-
    taken to determine the composition and temperature ranges over which
    these phases are stable and to establish the nature of the order/disorder
    transformations. The current status is represented in Fig. 78. The second-
    order (continuous) reactions are shown by hatched lines, implying that they
    do not represent compositions at which abrupt physical changes take place
    but indicate temperatures at which the rate of decrease of the degree of order
    with increasing temperature is a maximum.
    The phase al(D0 3) exists in a high and low-temperature modification: [3]
    and Inden [17]. The boundary drawn in Fig. 78 is based on work by [4, 12, 13]
    and Lecocq [18] whose results are in very good agreement. The temperature
    of the A2/B2 transitions decrease more rapidly below the Curie temperature
    (Td owing to the magnetic interaction energy. A two phase field (B2 + D0 3)
    is stable below Tc which has been proven by theoretical calculations and
    experimental investigations [5-9].

    Compounds
    The following compounds are stable: Fe2Si, (f3), FesSi3, (1]), FeSi, (e), and
    FeSi2 in a high and low temperature modification, ta and t~ respectively.
    The stability and homogeneity ranges of Fe2Si and FesSi 3 have been taken
    from work by [3, 4] and [10]. A homogeneity range for Fe2Si of about 1 at. %
