Abstract

Thermodynamic description of the Fe-Ni-P system is developed in the frame of a new Fe-X-P (X = Al, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, Si, Ti) database. The thermodynamic parameters of the binary sub-systems, Fe-Ni and Fe-P, are taken from earlier assessments. Those of the Ni-P and the Fe-Ni-P systems are optimized in this study using literature experimental thermodynamic and phase equilibria data. The solution phases of the ternary system (liquid, bcc_A2 and fcc_A1) are described with the substitutional solution model. The most of the phosphides (FeP, Ni5P2-H, Ni5P2-L, Ni12P5-H, Ni12P5-L) as well as the white-P-phase are treated as stoichiometric. Continuous solubility has been accepted between the two couples of isomorphic phases: Fe3P and Ni3P, and Fe2P and Ni2P. Good or reasonable correlation was obtained between the calculated and the experimental thermodynamic and phase equilibrium data.
