Abstract

The variation of shock-induced phase-transition pressure with alloy composition has been observed for several Fe–Cr and Fe–Cr–Ni alloys through use of the inclined-mirror technique. It was found that transition pressures for Fe–Cr alloys varied continuously from the known 130-kbar value for pure iron to 230 kbar for 30% Cr content. Alloys of the Fe–Cr–8% Ni series exhibited almost linear decrease in transition pressure from 120 to 80 kbar as Cr was increased from zero to 18%; no transition was observed for an 8% Ni–22% Cr alloy up to 124-kbar. Further systematic decreases in phase-transition pressures were observed for Fe–Cr–12% Ni and Fe–Cr–16% Ni alloys.
