Structural Phase Transformations in Zr50Co25Ni25 Alloy

  • Published:
Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

High-temperature X-ray diffraction is applied to study for the first time the structural phase transformations in the Zr50Co25Ni25 alloy at 30–800°C. It is shown that this alloy contains one phase at room temperature, with an orthorhombic crystal structure of CrB type. When temperature increases to 400°C, this phase transforms into a tetragonal phase of AuCu type. A phase with a cubic crystal structure of CsCl type and a monoclinic one of TiNi type show up at 800°C. The TiNitype phase remains up to room temperature when the sample is cooled down.
