Abstract

A review of the literature revealed that recently published phase diagrams of the Fe-Nb system show considerable discrepancies regarding phase equilibria with the melt and the homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic phases, specifically of the Laves phase Fe2Nb. Therefore the system has been reinvestigated by metallography, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Temperatures of invariant reactions were determined and the homogeneity ranges of the two intermetallic phases, Fe2Nb Laves phase and Fe7Nb6 μ phase, which both exist within a wide composition range, were established.
