Thermodynamic assessment of the Cu-Ti-Zr system. I. Cu-Ti system

Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

The CALPHAD method is used for the thermodynamic assessment of the Cu-Ti system that bounds the ternary Cu-Ti-Zr system, which is capable of forming amorphous alloys. The self-consistent parameters of thermodynamic models of the phases are obtained from data on the phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys and intermetallic compounds. The Gibbs energy of the liquid phase is described using the associated ideal solution model. To describe the thermodynamic properties of the Cu4Ti and CuTi intermetallic compounds with homogeneity range, sublattice models are used. The calculated phase diagram of the system and the thermodynamic properties of the phases are in good agreement with experimental data.
