Abstract

Mechanochemical interaction of Fe powder with the liquid Ga–In eutectic in the Fe-rich concentration corner of the Fe–Ga–In phase diagram was studied and compared with binary Fe–Ga and Fe–In specimens. Slow formation of diluted solid solutions in the Fe–In system was confirmed. In the Fe–Ga system, the dominant concentrated A2 solid solution is formed with Heff = 236 kOe, accompanied by ordered D03 and L12 phases. The Fe–Ga–In system features a stationary equilibrium between the concentrated A2 phase and D03 in the iron matrix.
