Fe-Co alloys are considered good candidates for high-temperature applications due to their high saturation magnetisation and Curie temperature. However, these alloys show low levels of ductility at room temperature. In this study, cluster expansion was employed to probe the thermodynamic stability of the FeCo1-XVX and Fe1-XCoVX alloys. Ten new stable structures were found from both FeCo1-XVX and Fe1-XCoVX systems. Their stability was observed by deducing the heats of formation, and it was found that VFeCo2 and VFe2Co (P4/mmm) are the most thermodynamically stable phases. The results also showed that vanadium prefers the Co-site rather than the Fe-site substitution. The calculated Pugh’s ratio and Poisson’s ratio confirm that alloying with V effectively improved the ductility. It was also found that VFeCo2, VFe2Co, VFe4Co3 and FeCo showed a positive shear modulus condition of stability for the structures. The ternary addition of V in the FeCo system resulted in enhanced magnetic properties. Thus, ternary systems with vanadium addition enhance the ductility of the Fe-Co systems, and these alloys could be used to develop future magnets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
