Thermodynamic assessment of the Ni-Zn system

  • Published:
Journal of Phase Equilibria

Abstract

The Ni-Zn binary phase diagram has been evaluated using the CALPHAD method. In this analysis, the intermetallic β, β1, and γ phases are described using the sublattice model. The δ (Ni2Zn15) phase is treated as a stoichiometric compound because of its narrow solution range. The parameters used for the model were derived from an optimization procedure using the available experimental data in the literature.
