Experimental Study of the Binary System Samário Ferro
Iron samarium binary system, Intermettalics compounds, Intermediates phases, metastable phase.
Studo were arc melt prepared alloys at the following concentrations:
Sm30Fe70, Sm40Fe60, Sm50Fe50, Sm70Fe30 and Sm80Fe20.
Subsequently, they were investigated by X-ray diffraction, metallography,
Thermomagnetic and magnetometry. In these samples, three Intermediates:
Sm2Fe17, SmFe3 and SmFe2. The network parameters And the Curie
temperatures of these compounds were determined. The magnetic properties
of the first three samples (Sm30Fe70, Sm40Fe60 and Sm50Fe50) were
consistent with the proportion and magnetic characteristics Of the intermetallic
compounds present. However, for the last two Samples (Sm70Fe30 and Sm80Fe20),
the study indicated a possible formation Of metastable phases. There was also a
dependence of the magnetic properties on the samarium concentration.
