Abstract

We report the first observation of isothermal phase separation triggered by inwardly diffusing interstitial nitrogen atoms during nitriding of an equiatomic FeNiCo medium entropy alloy. Detailed microstructural characterization revealed a phase-separated microstructure within the nitrided region containing two FCC solid solution phases with one enriched in Fe and N while other enriched in Co and Ni. This demonstrates the potential utilization of interstitial N alloying to tailor the microstructure of multi-principal element alloys.

The phase diagram in Figure 5 (a) is metastable because it has been obtained after suppressing the formation of the equilibrium \({\gamma }^{^{\prime}}\) Fe4N type nitride and ε-Fe3-x N type nitride. Please see supplementary information for details of the equilibrium phase diagram and compositions of equilibrium phases.
