Abstract
As an important constituent in titanium alloys, the Ti-Fe-Hf system currently lacks an accurate thermodynamic database. In this study, selected phase equilibria of the Ti-Fe-Hf system at 800 °C and 1000 °C were experimentally re-investigated through electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of equilibrated alloys, revealing the existence of the β(Ti, Hf) phase at 800 °C. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to measure the heat flow curves of the alloys, from which a vertical section of Ti80Fe20-Hf80Fe20 was investigated. First-principles calculations were performed to determine the end-member formation enthalpies of the intermetallic compounds in the Ti-Fe-Hf system. By integrating the experimental and calculated results, a self-consistent thermodynamic description of the Ti-Fe-Hf system was established using the CALPHAD method. The optimized thermodynamic parameters are in good agreement with the experimental data and accurately reproduce the phase equilibria.
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.
