✦ Synopsis


A method for the determination of the vapour pressure of chromium has been devised by combining Knudsen's effusion method with tracer analysis using Cr-51 of half-life 27.8 days. The vapour pressures determined in the temperature range 1170"-1400Β°C agree with previous work and may be represented by the equation log patm = -19,700/T + 6.92.

The heat of sublimation at 298Β°K is 94.0 kcal/g-atom, the boiling point is estimated to be 268O'C. The chromium pressures in the system chromium-iron have been measured at 1340"-1370Β°C for various compositions.

The activity curve shows some positive deviation from Raoult's line. Assuming the solid and liquid solutions to be regular, and using thermal data for the minimum in the liquidus curve and the maximum of the n-cc transformation together with Backhurst's atomic heat data for this transformation, the phase boundaries, cc-liquid and a-a, have been calculated and found to agree essentially with the experimental phase diagram.

The solidus-liquidus gap was, however, found to be narrower than hitherto assumed, and the GC-(T boundary has been extended to lower temperatures.

LA

THERMODYNAMIQUE DU SYSTEME FER-CHROME Les auteurs ont imagine une m&hode pour la determination de la pression de vapeur du chrome en combinant la mAthode Knudsen avec une analyse par traceur oh l'on utilise le Cr-51 dont la demi-vie est de 27,s. Les pressions de vapeur d&ermi&es dans la gamme de temp&atures comprises entre 1170 et 1400Β°C sont en accord avec les travaux antbrieurs. Elles peuvent Btre rep&sent&s par 1'6quation logpatm = 19,700/T + 6,92. La chaleur de sublimation 8. 298Β°K est de 94,0 kcal/atome gr. et le point d'bbullition est estimb B 2680Β°C. Les pressions du chrome dens le systbme fer-chrome ant BtB mesurees B 1340-1370Β°C pour diffbrentes compositions. La courbe d'activitb montre un &art positif par rapport B la droite de Raoult. Les auteurs font l'hypoth&se que les solutions solides et liquides sont r&ulii%es et utilisent les don&es thermiques pour le minimum du liquidus et le maximum de la transformation o -a ainsi que les r&ultats de chaleur atomique obtenus par Backhurst pour cette transformation. Dens ces conditions, les limites de phase liquide-cc et a-o ont 8tB calcul6es. Elles correspondent bien B celles que l'on obtient en trapant experimentalement le diagramme de phase. Cependant, la lecune solidus-liquidus apparait plus Btroite qu'on ne l'admettait jusqu'8 present et la limite de phase ~(-g peut Btre prolonghe jusqu'8 des temperatures plus basses.
