Abstract
In this study, thermodynamic optimization of the Er-Si binary system was performed using the CALPHAD method. The calculated phase diagram showed good consistency with existing experimental data. Furthermore, the phase equilibrium of the Al-Si-Er ternary system was investigated via electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), building on prior experimental data. Based on the experimental results obtained in this work and literature reports, the thermodynamic parameters of the Al-Si-Er ternary system were optimized. Both calculated isothermal cross section at 600 °C and the vertical cross section along Al70Si30-Al70Er30 (at. %) in the ternary system are in agreement with experimental data, indicating reliability of the thermodynamic description. This work provides essential foundational data for the development of high-performance rare earth Al-Si-Er alloys.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
