Experimental observation of magnetically induced phase separation and thermodynamic assessment in the Co–V binary system

Reobservations on ordering, precipitation and polymorphic phase transformation phenomena during annealing of a severely cold rolled magnetic Fe-Co-10V alloy

“…EDS analysis revealed that these precipitates are Vrich compounds depleted of Fe and Co. According to the binary Co-V phase diagram, the only vanadium-rich precipitate stable below 1125 ºC, will be CoV 3 compound, [32,33]. Therefore, it could be concluded that these equiaxed vanadium-rich particles are CoV 3 precipitates formed during annealing at 850 or 950 °C (even at 800 °C but with lower amount).…”
