Abstract:
The solidification behaviour of Fe-V-C alloys, was studied by differential thermal analysis. The composition and the nature of the phases were analysed by quantitative electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. Accurate microanalysis of carbon in vanadium carbides (VCx and V2C) were performed. A liquidus projection of the system Fe-V-C in the Fe-V rich region was proposed.
