Abstract: Phase transformation products and morphologies of the original CoSn2 phase in Sn-1.3wt%Co alloy which was heat treated at 215 ℃ for 5, 10, 15 min and water quenched respectively were studied by means of OM, SEM and EDS. The results show that CoSn2→CoSn4 phase transformation occurs due to the heat treatment. The original CoSn2 phase is partially dissolved and the position of resulting CoSn4 phase is somewhat expanded relative to that of the original CoSn2 phase. The similarity of crystal structure and atomic arrangement of the two phases are the important reasons for the transformation of CoSn2 phase into CoSn4 phase.

Key words: Sn-Co alloy, heat treatment, CoSn2 phase, CoSn4 phase, solid-state phase transformation
