Assessments of molar volume of the binary C14 Laves phase

Influence of atomic order on the enthalpy of formation and bulk modulus of the sigma phase

“…The common members of TCP phases are sigma, chi, mu, laves, A15, R, P, delta and M phases [1,2]. A small amount of TCP precipitations can cause the effect of precipitation hardening and grain boundary strengthening [3,6]. However, in most cases, TCP phase is a detrimental phase in alloys.…”
