Determining the boundaries of second-type phase transitions in Ag–Mg–Cd alloys by means of diffusion couples

详细

The interaction between elements in the transition zones of diffusion couples Mg + AgCd–alloy are studied. Isothermal sections of the Ag–Mg–Cd ternary system at 573 K are constructed. The existence of a Heusler phase based on H–Ag₂MgCd compound is found in the field of the solid β′-solution. It is shown that the interdiffusion of components prevents the formation of ordered phases in the transition zones of bimetals, allowing us to determine the boundaries of second-type phase transitions in solid solutions.
