摘要

The diffusion behavior and reactions between Al and Ca in Mg alloys by diffusion couple method were investigated.Results demonstrate that Al2Ca is the only phase existing in the diffusion reaction layers.The volume fraction of Al2Ca in diffusion reaction layers increases linearly with temperature.The standard enthalpy of formation for intermetallic compounds was rationalized on the basis of the Miedema model.Ai-Ca intermetallic compounds were preferable to form in the Mg-Al-Ca ternary system under the same conditions.Over the range of 350-400 ℃,the structure of Al2Ca is more stable than that of Al4Ca,Al14Ca13and Al3Ca8.The growth constants of the layer i,layer Ⅱ and entire diffusion reaction layers were determined.The activation energies for the growth of the layer Ⅰ,layer Ⅱ and entire diffusion reaction layers were (80.74 ± 3.01) kJ/mol,(93.45 ± 2.12) kJ/mol and (83.52 ±1.50) kJ/mol,respectively.In layer Ⅰ and Ⅱ,Al has higher integrated interdiffusion coefficients (D)Inti,layer than Ca.The average effective interdiffusion coefficients (D)effAl values are higher than(D)effCain the layer Ⅰ and Ⅱ.
