RESUMO

The aim of this thesis is to better resolve the two sequencial thermal events, which appear in the differential thermal analysis of alloys, with compositions around the eutectic regions of the Fe-Pr and Fe-Nd systems. We intend to verify if these events have relation with metastable magnetic phases which are observed in as-cast alloys in both systems, and to disçover which phases really belong to the equilibrium phase diagrams of these systems. To carry out this purpose we used the direcional solidification technique for obtain samples with spacially segregated microestructures. This technique is similar to that of crystal growth technique, known as Bridgman method, and provide us with a method to obtain stable phases of the studied systems. The samples obtained by means of this technique have been studied with the techniques of differential thermal analysis, calorimetry , metallography, electron probe microanalysis and thermomagnetic analysis. The correlation of all experimental data obtained from these studies, lead us to the following conclusions: In the Fe-Pr system we confirm the existence of the phase Fe2Pr, that is formed peritectically at 669 °C, and decomposes through an eutectoid reaction a temperature above 640 °C, and have Curie Temperature of 44 °C. The phase with stoichiometry Fe3Pr13 has not been observed. The samples of the system Fe-Nd, obtained by direcional solidification, presented similar feature as the system Fe-Pr. We have identified a new phase, with stoichiometry Fe2Nd, that is formed peritectically at 689 °C, and that decomposes through na eutectoid reaction at 659 °C, and has Curie Temperature of 251 °C, and presents magnetic domains at room temperature. For each system is proposed a new phase diagram. These diagrams have been constructed based on our experimental data and on diagrams presented by Hoyos and Landgraf, respectivelly. In the diagram of the system Fe-Pr, the phase Fe3Pr13 was dropped out, and in the diagram of the system Fe-Nd, the new phase Fe2Nd was included
