Thermodynamic properties of Cu–Zr melts: The role of chemical interaction

Zirconium in modern analytical chemistry

“…In recent decades, the field of technical applications of zirconium and its compounds has enlarged. Zirconium based alloys are often capable of volume amorphization; they attract researchers' attention due to the unique electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties (a combination of high elasticity and plasticity with the properties of metal alloys) and in terms of the possibilities to study the nature of amorphous state (Fu, Sun & Zhang, 2013;Louzgine-Luzgin & Inoue, 2013;Qiao, Pelletier & Casalini, 2013;Kulikova et al, 2015;Klumov, Ryltsev & Chtchelkatchev, 2016). Zirconium can also be a part of high entropy alloys, known for their structural and phase formation features (Yurchenko et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2017).…”

Associated solution model rebuilt

“…Another important issue, that should be discussed, is the way associates (usually a small set) are selected for inclusion in the model. As mentioned above, at low temperatures it is usually assumed [7,8,9] that associates should inherit the composition of the most stable solid compound (or compounds) found in the system, (though at high temperatures this justification may look less convincing). But no matter how the selection was made, we had seen in the previous section that if an associate is postulated at low temperatures, it continues to exist at all temperatures, including the very high temperatures.…”

“…Since the existence and properties of hypothetical associates cannot be conformed experimentally, the choice of the associate types remains widely arbitrary. It is based usually on the reference to the most stable solid compounds identified in the described system [7,8,9]). This approach suggests that these compounds continue to exist in the liquid phase in some fragmentary "associate-like" form.…”

Using of Technogenic Raw Materials Based on Titanium-containing Slag and Aluminum Bronze for the Development of Composite Material

“…In order to form a database for modeling, a search was made of experimental and theoretical results on the thermodynamic properties of the compounds that make up the system under study [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, it should be noted that in the available literature, information on the thermodynamic properties of a number of binary compounds in the condensed state (solid and liquid) are absent, and sometimes contradictory.…”
