Thermodynamic optimization of La–Zn and La–Mg–Zn systems

Critical assessment and optimization of phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of RE–Zn systems-part I: Sc–Zn, La–Zn, Ce–Zn, Pr–Zn, Nd–Zn, Pm–Zn and Sm–Zn

“…9. Comparisons of the optimized enthalpies and entropies of liquid mixing in the La-Zn system with those reported in previous assessments [27,28] are shown in Figs. 25 and 26.…”

“…Previous thermodynamic assessments of the La-Zn system have been reported by Qi et al [27] and Berche et al [28].…”

“…Calculated enthalpy of liquid-liquid mixing in the La-Zn system from different optimizations[27,28].…”

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg–Sn–Zn ternary system

“…The updated optimization of this binary system was carried out by Liang et al [16] based on the modification of thermodynamic models and the new experimental data in the assessment of the Al-Mg-Zn ternary system. Furthermore, this assessment was also used in the extrapolation of the Cu-Mg-Zn [17], Mg-Mn-Zn [18] and Mg-La-Zn [19] ternary systems. Thus, the Gibbs energies of various phases in the Mg-Zn binary system obtained by Liang et al [16] were employed directly in the present work.…”

Influences of Al, Ce on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of As-Cast Mg-6Zn Alloy

“…Adding rare earth (RE) elements into Mg-Zn based alloys is an important approach to improve the corrosion resistance and strength at elevated temperatures [4]. For instance, Zn and Ce can form stable Mg x Zn y Ce z compounds, which can enhance the thermal stability of the alloys [5].…”
