a b s t r a c tThe Ce-Cu binary system has been thermodynamically reassessed by CALPHAD approach based on experimental data and thermodynamic properties of phase diagram. Incorporating the thermodynamic evaluations of Al-Ce and Al-Cu systems from literature, the Al-Ce-Cu ternary system has been assessed using CALPHAD approach. The solution phases including liquid, Fcc and Bcc were treated as substitutional solution phases and the Redlich-Kister polynomial was used to describe their excess Gibbs energies. All binary and ternary intermetallic compounds were treated as stoichiometric phases and their Gibbs energies of formation were optimized. The calculated Al-Ce-Cu phase diagram agreed well with available experimental data.
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.
