JOURNAL OF SCIENCE OF HNUE Natural Sci., 2010, Vol. 55, No. 6, pp. 20-27 STUDY OF ELASTIC MODULI OF Fe-C ALLOYS PRESSURE DEPENDENCE Vu Van Hung(∗) and Nguyen Thi Thu Hien Hanoi National University of Education (∗) Email: bangvu57@yahoo.com Abstract. Temperature and pressure dependence of elastic moduli for in- terstitial alloys like Fe-C alloys with bcc structure has been investigated by using statistical moment method (SMM). The Young moduli of Fe-C alloys is calculated as a function of the temperature and pressure. We discusss the temperature and pressure dependence of the elastic moduli of Fe-C alloys with the different interstitial concentrations and compare the SMM elastic moduli calculations with those of the experimental results. Keywords: Elastic moduli, Fe-C alloys, temperature dependence, pressure dependence. 1. Introduction Carbon interstice in metals and alloys is a current subject of considerable ex- perimental and theoretical investigations [1-5]. A small number of theoretical studies have focused on diffusion in pure metals (Ti, Fe, etc.) at high interstitial concentra- tion [2,5]. Some approaches in the form of Green's function technique [6] and first principles calculations [1,3,5,7] have been used to explain the lattice dynamics and predict the lattice parameters, elastic constant and moduli, vibrational properties of Fe-C systems. To understand the natrure of the lattice dynamics and influence of interstitial elements on the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of Fe-C system, knowl- edge of the many - body interaction potential of bcc Fe alloyed with C is required. Recently, empirical potentials [8] have been developed for point defect clusters in Fe-C alloys. The purpose of the present article is to investigate the Young moduli E of interstitial Fe-C alloys using the statistical moment method (SMM) [9-12]. In the study, the influences of the temperature, pressure and C interstitial concentration on the Young modulus E of Fe-C alloys have been studied using the many body interaction potential [8]. We will compare the present calculations with the available experimental results. 20
Study of elastic moduli of F e-C alloys: pressure dependence 2. Theory Let us consider an AB interstitial alloys consisting of NA atoms A and NB atoms B (NA >> NB ) with the bcc structure. The free energy of system has an approximate form: ψ = (NA − 6NB )ψA + NB ψB + 2NB ψA1 + 4NB ψA2 − T SC (2.1) where ψA is the free energy of an atom A of the pure metal A, ψA1 (or ψA2 ) is the free energy of an atom A with an interstitial atom B located at the nearest neighbour lattice site as schematically shown in Figure 1; ψB is the free energy of an interstitial atom B in the interstitial alloy AB and SC the configurational entropy. Figure 1. The lattice site of interstitial atom B of bcc interstitial alloy AB. (A, A , A ≡ Fe atom, B ≡ C atom) 1 2 The temperature dependence of elastic moduli of AB interstitial alloys are calculated by using the general expression of the Helmholtz free energy ψ of Equation (2.1). Young modulus E of AB interstitial alloys is given as [12] ∂σ 1 ∂2ψ E= = (2.2) ∂ε v ∂ε2 where ε denotes the strain and σ is the stress. From Equations (2.1) and (2.2) it is easy to derive the results ∂ 2 ψB ∂ 2 ψA1 ∂ 2 ψA2       +2 +4   ∂ε2 ∂ε 2 ∂ε 2  E = EA (1 − 7cB ) + cB  (2.3) ∂ 2 ψA      ∂ε 2 21

Study of elastic moduli of F e-C alloys: pressure dependence We used Fe-Fe, Fe-C, and C-C interactions of the Finnis-Sinclair (FS) form [8] as: ρβα (r) = t1 (r − rc,ρ )2 + t2 (r − rc,ρ)3 , r ≤ rc,ρ (2.7) ϕβα (r) = (r − rc,ϕ )2 k1 + k2 r + k3 r 2 , (2.8) r ≤ rc, ϕ where these functions are zero for r ≥ rc . The constants rc , ti , and ki are presented in Table 1. From Equations (2.1) and (2.2) Young modulus of Fe-C system at the tem- perature T and pressure p can be given as: E (p, T, cB ) = EA (p, T, cB ) {(1 − 7cB ) + cB β (p, T )} (2.9) where EA (p, T, cB ) has the form analogous to [9] k EA (p, T, cB ) = 2 2 A (2.10) 2γA θ x coth x π r1 (p, T, cB ) 1 + 4 1+ (1 + x coth x) kA 2 and ∂ 2 ψB ∂ 2 ψA 1 ∂ 2 ψA 2 2 + 2 + 4 β (p, T ) = ∂ε ∂ε2 ∂ε2 (2.11) 2 ∂ ψA ∂ε2 Since the pressure dependence of the Young modulus of metals is linear, we can expand the Young modulus in terms of pressure p as: 1 ∂ 2 ψB 1 ∂ 2 ψB
