Abstract
The Ti-Al-N system has been assessed on the basis of available thermodynamic descriptions for the binary subsystems and experimental phase equilibrium data for the ternary system. The ternary compounds were treated as stoichiometric compounds. The two-sublattice model was used to describe the cph (αTi), bcc (βTi), and fee (δTiN1-x) solid-solution phases. A consistent set of thermodynamic parameters has been obtained for various phases modeled. A detailed comparison between the calculated and experimental phase diagram data has been presented.
