Isobaric Thermal Expansion and Isothermal Compression of Powdered NiFe Based Alloys Studied by In-Situ EDXRD

The aim of the present work was to study the isothermal compression and isobaric thermal expansion behaviour of ball-milled NiFe (81 wt.% of Ni) and NiFeMo (79 wt.% of Ni, 16 wt.% of Fe) alloy and follow its phase evolution when exposed to high pressure and temperature. In-situ pressure-temperature energy dispersive X-ray (EDXRD) diffraction experiments were performed at the MAX80 instrument (beamline F2.1). The compressibility of NiFe alloy at 400 °C was evaluated for pressure values of up to 3.5 GPa. The EDXRD spectra revealed the presence of cubic FeNi_{3} phase as determined from the shift of (111), (200) and (220) reflection lines in corresponding EDXRD spectra.
