Abstract. The present study concerns the optimization of the Fe-Y and Ni-Sc systems by the help of the CALPHAD (CALculation of Phase Diagram) method, taking into account the available experimental results about phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties. The excess terms of the Gibbs energy of the solution phases (liquid, b.c.c., f.c.c. and h.c.p.) were assessed with the recent exponential temperature dependence of the interaction energies by Kaptay and compared with the linear dependence by Redlich-Kister. Furthermore, the computer program Thermo-Calc allows to obtain estimated data for experimentally undetermined thermodynamic properties and to compare the computed phase diagrams with those already published.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
