Abstract

Phase diagrams of Fe-Ni-Cr are calculated as a function of temperature from the liquid phase down to 500 K using thermodynamic values of the pertinent phases. These phases are the liquid, fcc, bcc, sigma, and γ′-FeNi3 phases. Not only the thermodynamic values calculated from the models for the various phases are in agreement with experimental data available in the literature, the calculated phase diagrams are also in agreement with experimental data over a wide range of temperature. Below 1123 K, no conventional phase diagram data are available in the literature due to kinetic difficulties. However, the calculated diagram is able to explain the results obtained when the alloys are subjected to electron irradiation.
