Fe-Ni Sulphides within a CM1 clast in Tagish Lake
The composition, abundance and mineral associations of Fe-Ni sulphides within a CM1 clast in Tagish Lake are described, and compared with Fe-Ni sulphides in the carbonate-rich and carbonate-poor lithology of Tagish Lake, as well as Fe-Ni sulphides from CI and CM chondrites
Computational study on microstructure evolution and magnetic property of laser additively manufactured magnetic materials
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers an unprecedented opportunity for the quick
production of complex shaped parts directly from a powder precursor. But its
application to functional materials in general and magnetic materials in
particular is still at the very beginning. Here we present the first attempt to
computationally study the microstructure evolution and magnetic properties of
magnetic materials (e.g. Fe-Ni alloys) processed by selective laser melting
(SLM). SLM process induced thermal history and thus the residual stress
distribution in Fe-Ni alloys are calculated by finite element analysis (FEA).
The evolution and distribution of the -Fe-Ni and FeNi phase
fractions were predicted by using the temperature information from FEA and the
output from CALculation of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD). Based on the relation
between residual stress and magnetoelastic energy, magnetic properties of SLM
processed Fe-Ni alloys (magnetic coercivity, remanent magnetization, and
magnetic domain structure) are examined by micromagnetic simulations. The
calculated coercivity is found to be in line with the experimentally measured
values of SLM-processed Fe-Ni alloys. This computation study demonstrates a
feasible approach for the simulation of additively manufactured magnetic
materials by integrating FEA, CALPHAD, and micromagnetics.Comment: 20 pages, 15 figure
Absence of Magnetism in Hcp Iron-Nickel at 11 K
Synchrotron Mƶssbauer spectroscopy (SMS) was performed on an hcp-phase alloy of composition Fe92Ni8 at a pressure of 21 GPa and a temperature of 11 K. Density functional theoretical calculations predict antiferromagnetism in both hcp Fe and hcp Fe-Ni. For hcp Fe, these calculations predict no hyperfine magnetic field, consistent with previous experiments. For hcp Fe-Ni, however, substantial hyperfine magnetic fields are predicted, but these were not observed in the SMS spectra. Two possible explanations are suggested. First, small but significant errors in the generalized gradient approximation density functional may lead to an erroneous prediction of magnetic order or of erroneous hyperfine magnetic fields in antiferromagnetic hcp Fe-Ni. Alternately, quantum fluctuations with periods much shorter than the lifetime of the nuclear excited state would prohibit the detection of moments by SMS
Phase equilibria and phase transformations in the Ti-rich corner of the Fe-Ni-Ti system
While the main features of the Fe-Ni-Ti system are well known at low Ti content, literature review of the Ti-rich corner revealed inconsistencies between experimental reports. This investigation presents new experimental results, defined to remove the uncertainties concerning melting behavior and solid-state phase equilibria of the (Ni,Fe)Ti2 phase with the adjacent (Fe,Ni)Ti (B2, CsCl-type structure) and Beta-Ti (A2, W-type) phases. Six samples have been prepared and examined by differential thermal analysis performed in yttria and alumina crucibles, and by scanning electron microscopy in the as-cast state as well as equilibrated at 900Ā°C

Sound velocity and elastic properties of FeāNiāSāSi liquid: the effects of pressure and multiple light elements
FeāNiāSāSi alloy is considered to be one of the plausible candidates of Mercury core material. Elastic properties of FeāNiāSāSi liquid are important to reveal the density profile of the Mercury core. In this study, we measured the P-wave velocity (VP) of FeāNiāSāSi (Fe73Ni10S10Si7, Fe72Ni10S5Si13, and Fe67Ni10S10Si13) liquids up to 17 GPa and 2000 K to study the effects of pressure, temperature, and multiple light elements (S and Si) on the VP and elastic properties.
The VP of FeāNiāSāSi liquids are less sensitive to temperature. The effect of pressure on the VP are close to that of liquid Fe and smaller than those of FeāNiāS and FeāNiāSi liquids. Obtained elastic properties are KS0ā=ā99.1(9.4) GPa, KSāā=ā3.8(0.1) and Ļ0 =6.48 g/cm3 for S-rich Fe73Ni10S10Si7 liquid and KS0ā=ā112.1(1.5) GPa, KSāā=ā4.0(0.1) and Ļ0=6.64 g/cm3 for Si-rich Fe72Ni10S5Si13 liquid. The VP of FeāNiāSāSi liquids locate in between those of FeāNiāS and FeāNiāSi liquids. This suggests that the effect of multiple light element (S and Si) on the VP is suppressed and cancel out the effects of single light elements (S and Si) on the VP. The effect of composition on the EOS in the FeāNiāSāSi system is indispensable to estimate the core composition combined with the geodesy data of upcoming Mercury mission
