Abstract: The thermodynamic assessments of the Au–Th and As–U binary systems were carried out using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) method based on experimental data for phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties. The Gibbs free energies of the liquid, bcc, fcc, rhombohedral, (αU) and (βU) phases were described by the subregular solution model, and those of the intermetallic compounds (Au51Th14, Au2Th, Au4Th3, AuTh, Au2Th3 AuTh2, AsU, As4U3 and As2U) were described by the two-sublattice model. A set of thermodynamic parameters leading to reasonable agreement between the present calculated results and experimental data have been obtained. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The Bi–U and Bi–Mn binary systems have been critically assessed by using the CALPHAD (Calculation of Phase Diagrams) technique on the basis of the experimental data including thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria. The Gibbs free energies of the solution phases (liquid, bcc, fcc, αU, βU, αMn, (Bi), and βMn) were modeled by a sub-regular solution model with the Redlich–Kister equation, and those of the intermetallic compounds (UBi, U3Bi4, UBi2, αBiMn and βBiMn) in these two binary systems were described by a two-sublattice model. A proper set of thermodynamic parameters has been derived for describing the Gibbs free energies of each phase in the Bi–U and Bi–Mn systems. An agreement between the calculated results and experimental data is obtained. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties in the Fe–Er and B–Er binary systems have been assessed by using the CALPHAD (Calculation of Phase Diagrams) method on the basis of the experimental data including the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria. The thermodynamic parameters of each phase in the Fe–Er and B–Er binary systems were obtained, and an agreement between the calculated results and experimental data was obtained in each binary system. The isothermal sections at different temperatures and liquidus surface in the Fe–B–Er system have been calculated based on the binary thermodynamic data assessed in the present work. In addition, by considering that the glass formation composition of amorphous alloy is closely relative to the eutectic point in corresponding phase diagram, the investigation of glass-forming ability (GFA) in Fe-rich alloys in the Fe–B–Er liquidus surface has also been implemented in this work. The experimental result indicates that the GFA of a certain alloy is intimately relative to its location in the phase diagram, which proves that the phase diagram is an efficient tool for the composition design of Fe-based amorphous alloy.

Abstract: The atomic mobilities of the fcc Ni–Nb and Ni–Mo binary system have been assessed on the basis of the available kinetic information and given as functions of temperatures and composition in the CALPHAD format using the DICTRA software package in this work.
