2 Content Introduction Thermodynamic calculation approach Thermodynamic modeling of Al-Mn, Al-Zn, Mn-Zn system. Thermodynamic calculation of Al-Mn-Zn ternary system. Conclusion 2

3 Introduction Phase diagrams are the foundation in performing basic materials research in such fields as solidification, crystal growth, joining, phase transformation, etc. Also, a phase diagram also serves as a road map for materials design and process optimization. In an alloy with several alloying elements, the phase relationships are very complex. In order to investigate and understand these complex phase relationships effectively, it is very useful to develop thermodynamic databases containing model parameters giving the thermodynamic properties of all phases as functions of temperature and composition. Using Gibbs free energy minimization software such as FactSage. 3

4 Thermodynamic Calculation Approach Collect thermochemical and phase equilibrium data Select thermodynamic models for each phase Optimize model parameters Obtain Gibbs energy functions for each phase in the system Describe known diagrams Predict unknown higher order multicomponent diagrams 4

Substitutional Solution Model (SSM) for the solid solution Stoichiometric Model(ST) for the compound 5 Mn/(Mn+Zn) (mol/mol)

6 The advantages of Modified Quasichemical Model(MQM) It permits the composition of maximum short range ordering in a binary system to be freely chosen It expresses the energy of pair formation as a function of composition which can be expanded as a polynomial in the pair fraction The coordination numbers are permitted to vary with the composition The model can be extended to multicomponent systems 6

7 Equation of each model MQM is the change in the Gibbs energy for the formation of 2 moles of A-B pair are the parameters of model which related to the temperature SSM The Gibbs energy, per mole of the phase for the A-B binary system is given by: where C and D are the parameters to be determined during the optimization ST where p and q are the site fractions in the two sublattices of the compound ApBq and the C and D values are to be optimized using experimental data. 7

8 Thermodynamic calculation of Al-Mn-Zn ternary System A simple extrapolation of the Al-Mn, Al-Zn and Mn-Zn system to construct the ternary Al-Mn-Zn has been carried out using Kohler extrapolation technique without the use of any ternary interaction parameter. For modeling purposes, Alpha_CBCC, Beta_CUB, Delta_BCC and Gamma_FCC phases in both Al-Mn and Mn-Zn system were formally treated as the same phase. The thermodynamic properties of these phase were estimated from the binary model parameters. The previous optimizations of the Al-Mn, Al-Zn and Mn-Zn systems were combined in order to calculate the polythermal projection of the liquidus of the Al-Mn-Zn system. The thermodynamic properties of the ternary liquid phase were calculated by the MQM from the binary model parameters 8

9 Calculated liquidus projection of Al-Mn-Zn system The polythermal or liquidus projection is a two dimensional representation of the ternary liquidus surface on the Gibbs triangle which is mainly composed of several constant temperature lines called liquidus isotherms.

13 Conclusion Thermodynamic modeling and calculation is a useful way to predict the complex system. Current calculation shows some discrepancies because the absence of ternary compounds data and ternary interaction parameters. Further experimental results will be used to construct and model the Al-Mn-Zn system. 13
