Fe-Pt Binary Phase Diagram A1 L10
Summary and Conclusions • Keeping iron content constant and replacing platinum with nickel in the ternary alloy, the Curie temperature increases. • Higher nickel content increases ordering temperature. • Higher iron content results in a lower activation energy, thus resulting in faster ordering kinetics. • Transformation enthalpy is lower with higher nickel content which causes it to have a lower driving force. • Avrami exponent being low shows that transformation needs higher temperatures to be completed.
