Abstract

The melting points of the fcc, bcc and cph structures of a majority of the metallic elements have been calculated from the thermodynamic data in the literature. This information is useful in estimating phase diagrams that represent metastable structures. An example is the extension of the liquid-fcc solid solution two-phase field to pure Cr for the Ni-Cr system. There are often marked differences in melting points between the different structures for a given metal.
