Experimental Liquidus Surface Projection and Isothermal Section at 1000 °C of the V-Ni-C System

Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Twenty-three V-Ni-C alloys were produced and analysed in the as-cast condition, as well as after annealing at 1000 °C for 1000 h. The phases were identified using SEM–EDX and XRD. The extensions of the binary phases were determined. The liquidus surface projection was derived from the overall compositions, primary phases and the solidification sequences. Four invariant reactions on solidification were found. The isothermal section at 1000 °C was also derived, which included the ~ Ni2V4C ternary phase.
