Abstract

A generalized approach is proposed to calculate the magnetic contribution to the thermodynamic functions of alloys. This approach is applied successfully to the Fe-Ni binary system. The predicted magnetic specific heat of the fcc phase at 75 at. Pct Ni is in agreement with the experimental data within the accuracies of the data and the predicted values. The magnetic contributions to the Gibbs energies of the fcc and bcc phases for the Fe-Ni alloys obtained from this approach are added to the nonmagnetic portion of the Gibbs energies. The nonmagnetic portion of the Gibbs energy of the fcc phase is obtained from extensive thermochemical data at high temperatures as discussed in the paper immediately following this one. The total Gibbs energies of the fcc, bcc, and the orderedγ′-(FeNi3) phases are then used to calculate/predict phase equilibria of the Fe-Ni binary at temperatures lower than 1200 K. The calculated equilibria are in agreement with available experimental data. In addition, a irascibility gap of the fcc phase at low temperatures is predicted, resulting in the formation of a monotectoid equilibrium at 662 K as given below: {fx1361-02} The existence of the miscibility gap is due to the magnetic Gibbs energy term of the fcc phase which is composition dependent. Experimental results reported in the literature support the predicted miscibility gap.
