Abstract

In this work, the solidification microstructure and phase transitions of Dy-Tb-Fe alloy samples were studied by using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). No stable ternary compound was detected in the present experiments. The phase transformation temperatures of eight Dy-Tb-Fe alloy samples were measured. Based on the experimental results determined in this work and reported in the literature, the phase equilibria of the Dy-Tb-Fe system was calculated using the CALPHAD method. The calculated vertical sections are consistent with the experimental results determined in this work and reported in the literature. Furthermore, in combination with the experimental solidification microstructure, the solidification behavior of Dy-Tb-Fe alloy samples was analyzed through the thermodynamic calculation with the Gulliver-Scheil non-equilibrium model. The simulated results agree well with the experimental results. This indicates that the reasonable thermodynamic parameters of the Dy-Tb-Fe system were finally obtained.
