Abstract

The high temperature vaporization thermochemistry of the intermediate phases in the B-rich portion of the Mg–B phase diagram (above 80% at. B) has been extensively studied by Knudsen Effusion-Mass Spectrometry (KEMS) and Knudsen Effusion-Weight Loss (KEWL) techniques. The temperature dependence of the Mg vapor pressures in equilibrium over the binary alloys in the composition range 87.5–95.2 and 95.2–100%at. B (corresponding to the two biphasic regions MgB7CMgB20 and MgB20Cb-B, respectively) has been measured in the temperature range 1162–1467 K. The enthalpy changes of the decomposition reactions for MgB7 and MgB20 are presented together with previously determined data for the Mg-richest phases MgB2 and MgB4 and a self-consistent set of formation enthalpies for all the four Mg–B phases has been derived. The proposed experimental formation enthalpies, DfH0 298, are MgB2: K41.1G2.2, MgB4: K29.9G2.0, MgB7: K20.3G1.5, MgB20: K8.5G0.6 kJ/mol atoms. Using the present and literature data the Mg–B thermodynamic description has been newly assessed using Thermo-Calc software and the whole phase diagram redrawn. Good agreement was obtained between the calculated results and the experimental data.
