Abstract
The thermodynamic properties for the tungsten-boron binary system were determined by measuring electromotive forces of galvanic cells using an Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 solid oxide electrolyte. Assuming that W2B and αWB are the stoichiometric compounds, and W2B5−x
and W1−x
B3 are the nonstoichiometric compounds having solubility widths of 0.670 ≤ X
B ≤ 0.690 and 0.805 ≤ X
B ≤ 0.822, respectively, they were treated as the intermediate phases of W0.667B0.333, αW0.50B0.50, W0.330B0.670 ~ W0.310B0.690, and W0.195B0.805 ~ W0.178B0.822. The Gibbs energies of mixing, ∆mix
G, determined in the present study are listed as follows: Using the thermodynamic properties determined in the present study, the composition-oxygen partial pressure diagram of the tungsten-boron-oxygen system was constructed under the conditions at 1273 K (1000 °C) and a total pressure of 1 bar (100 kPa). It is useful to understand the oxidation property of tungsten-boron binary alloys.
