The energy expressions for GP zones in the Al–Ag binary system, including the ε-state and the η-state ones, are established by combining the essential Gibbs energy for the matrix alloy with the interfacial energy and the ...

In this work the assessment of the Cr–Re system, using a combined ab initio and CALPHAD (CALculation of Phase Diagrams) approach, is presented. To model the sigma phase, a five-sublattice combined CEF model was applied and ...

Sulfur poisoning of PdCu membrane alloys has promoted new alloy development that requires quantitative understanding of the thermodynamics of the Pd–Cu–S system. This study attempts to develop a self-consistent thermodynamic ...

The isothermal section at 327 °C for the Mg–Si–Zn system has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX). No ternary compound has ...

The Ta–V system is an interesting system exhibiting the existence of Laves phases among elements of the same group in the periodic system, and with an unusual order of stability of Laves phase structures at 0 K. Whereas ...

The V–Zn system was investigated by a combination of CALPHAD modeling with key experiments and first-principles calculations. Based on a critical literature review, one diffusion couple and nine alloys were designed to ...

Among the phase diagrams of six binary systems composed of alkali metals, Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb) and Cesium (Cs), three of them, those of the Cs–K, Cs–Rb and K–Rb systems, indicate a complete range of ...

Thermodynamic description of the Al–Pt binary system is modeled by combining first-principles calculations with the CALPHAD method. The four-sublattice and two-sublattice compound energy formalisms are used to model the ...

A thermodynamic description of the ternary Cu–Pb–Sn system at the Cu–Pb side is presented. The thermodynamic parameters of the sub-systems, Cu–Pb, Cu–Sn and Pb–Sn, are taken from earlier SGTE-based assessments and those ...

With the consideration of the existence of the metastable miscibility gaps, the thermodynamic parameters of the Mg-based solid solution have been assessed for the Mg–Zn and Mg–Nd systems. The new semi-empirical equation ...
