Experimental investigation and thermodynamic calculation of the phase equilibria in the Co–Mo–W system

Thermodynamic description of the Ag–(Ca, Li, Zn) and Ca–(In, Li) binary systems

“…Obtaining such knowledge exclusively from experiments is cumbersome and expensive. Thus thermodynamic modeling of multi-component systems using the Calculation of Phase Diagrams (CALPHAD) approach has been shown to be a very efficient tool in this regard [15][16][17][18]. Within this approach, the thermodynamics of a system is described through simple phenomenological expressions for the Gibbs energies of all the phases that are likely to take part in equilibria.…”

Interdiffusivities and atomic mobilities in FCC Co–Mo–W alloys

“…The thermodynamic description for the fcc Co-Mo-W system is obtained from the previous work of Wang et al [16]. The mobility parameters for fcc Co-W alloys were obtained from the previous work of Zhang et al [17].…”

Investigation into the effects of Fe additions on the equilibrium phase compositions, phase fractions and phase stabilities in the Ni–Cr–Al system

“…Various research studies [31][32][33][34] have revealed the utility of insightful application of Thermo-calc Ò software. The basic concepts involved in these simulations lie in the mathematical description of the thermodynamic properties of the relevant phases, such as enthalpy and entropy.…”

“…These methods are limited, however, in their ability to fully identify the phases and their chemical compositions. Thus, the experimental work is supplemented with computational simulation, using the Thermo-calc Ò software [29][30][31][32][33][34]. The utilization of this software allows for: (i) confirmation of the phase identification generated experimentally; (ii) investigation into alloy systems not evaluated experimentally; and (iii) detailed consideration of the phase composition of each phase, as a function of temperature and overall composition.…”
