Abstract
The phase equilibria in the Si-Zr-Ag ternary system at 650 °C and 750 °C were investigated using the equilibrated alloy approach. Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been applied to characterize the phase constitution of the alloys. At 650 °C and 750 °C, Six three-phase regions have been detected. The ternary compounds τ1 and τ2 were found in the two isothermal sections. τ1 was identified as a body-centered cubic structure by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, with the lattice parameters determined as a = 0.3738 nm, α = β = γ = 90°. Based on the experimental results on phase equilibrium, the CALPHAD approach was used to develop the thermodynamic description of the Si-Zr-Ag ternary system. The calculated isothermal sections show excellent agreement with the experimental ones. Then, the liquidus projection was predicted with the obtained thermodynamic parameters.
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.
