Abstract

Microstructure examination, phase analysis, and DSC measurement on the equilibrated ternary alloys not only enabled exploration of the phase equilibria relations of the Mg-Nd-Sr ternary but also thermodynamic assessment of the ternary system in the context of the CALPHAD approach. Thermodynamic modeling, further coupled with first principle calculations, was thereafter used to predict a panoramic phase diagram for the Mg-Nd-Sr ternary system at the Mg-rich corner.
