Abstract
The phase relationships of the CeCo5-SmCo5 pseudobinary system have been studied by means of x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric measurements (TGM), and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS). The XRD results show that continuous solid solutions were formed in this CeCo5-SmCo5 pseudobinary system, and all the (Ce, Sm)Co5 solid solutions belong to a hexagonal structure with space group P6/mmm. With the increase of Sm content x, the lattice parameter, a, and the cell volume, V, of (Ce1−xSmx)Co5 solid solutions increase linearly, but its lattice parameter, c, decreases linearly. The DTA measurements show that the temperature of the peritectic reaction L + (Ce, Sm)2Co17 → (Ce, Sm)Co5, the liquid phase transition temperature of the reaction L → L + (Ce, Sm)2Co17, and the Curie temperature of the (Ce1−xSmx)Co5 alloys increase almost linearly as x increases from 0 to 1.0. Based on the XRD results and DTA data, the tentative vertical section of the CeCo5-SmCo5 pseudobinary phase diagram has been constructed.
