Book Thermodynamic Modeling and Experimental Investigation of the Mg Al Ca Sr System

Download or read book Thermodynamic Modeling and Experimental Investigation of the Mg Al Ca Sr System written by Mohammad Aljarrah and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, a self-consistent thermodynamic database for the Mg-Al-Ca-Sr system using the modified quasichemical model has been constructed. The thermodynamic description of the quaternary system was established by combining the thermodynamic descriptions of the constituent binary and ternary sub-systems. The Mg-Al-Ca and Mg-Al-Sr systems were investigated by combining thermodynamic modeling and experimental investigation. The experimental investigation has been performed using DSC, XRD, SEM and EPMA. Also, isothermal sections at 300°C and 400°C were constructed for the Mg-Al-Ca and Mg-Al-Sr systems. In the Mg-Al-Sr system, six ternary solubilities of the binary compounds extended into the ternary system have been found and denoted as (Mg 17 Sr 2), (Mg 23 Sr 6), (Mg 38 Sr 9), (Mg 2 Sr), (Al 4 Sr) and (Al 2 Sr). The reported ternary compound in the literature (Mg 58 Al 38 Sr 4) has been observed in this work. In the Mg-Al-Ca system, three binary compounds were found to dissolve the third component in the ternary system and were denoted as (Al 2 Ca), (Al 3 Ca 8), and (Mg 2 Ca). The ternary compound (C36) reported in the literature has been confirmed. A comparison between the calculated liquidus projection of the Mg-Ca-Sr system using the modified quasichemical model and random solution model has been presented. It was found that while the random solution model agrees well with the experimental phase diagram, the modified quasichemical model gives better agreement with the experimental thermodynamic data and the experimental phase diagram. Liquidus projection of the Al-Ca-Sr system was calculated using the modified quasichemical model and combined with the other three ternaries in one database for the Mg-Al-Ca-Sr system.

Book Thermodynamic Modeling and First principles Calculations of the Cr Hf Y Ternary System

Download or read book Thermodynamic Modeling and First principles Calculations of the Cr Hf Y Ternary System written by Bradley Hasek and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the thermodynamic modeling of the ternary Cr-Hf-Y system. Chromium, hafnium, and yttrium are all used as alloying elements in nickel superalloys. Nickel superalloys usually contain many different alloying elements, so there becomes a need to understand the phase equilibria of large, multicomponent systems. This can be accomplished by using the CALPHAD method of modeling. CALPHAD modeling requires experimental data to better model the system. In the absence of experimental data, first-principles calculations can be used to predict thermochemical data. Before modeling the Cr-Hf-Y system, the binary Cr-Hf, Cr-Y, and Hf-Y systems must be modeled. In the Cr-Y and Hf-Y system, there is limited experimental data, so first-principles calculations are done on the BCC and HCP solid solution phases using special quasirandom structures (SQS's) to model the disordered systems. The symmetry is also investigated to ensure symmetry is not lost during relaxation. Using the first-principles calculations, the enthalpy of mixing is used to model these systems. The Cr-Hf system is modeled with experimental data and with first-principles calculations done on the Laves phase. With the three binary systems modeled, the ternary system is then modeled without any experimental data present. Isothermal sections are presented from 1273 K to 2200 K.

Book Coupled Thermodynamic Modeling and Experimental Study of Na2O FeO Fe2O3 CaO MgO A12O3 SiO2 System

Download or read book Coupled Thermodynamic Modeling and Experimental Study of Na2O FeO Fe2O3 CaO MgO A12O3 SiO2 System written by Elmira Moosavi Khoonsari and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The significance of the Na2O-FeO-Fe2O3-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system stems from its applications in industrial processes and natural phenomena. This system in whole or in part was studied for the cooling system of fast breeder reactors, the desulfurization of hot metal and liquid steel, the production of bioactive glasses, coal-combustion slags, the reduction process of bauxite with soda for the production of Al2O3, and the production of solid-state electrodes for electrochemical cells. It also possesses many well-known minerals such as wüstite, spinel, corundum, aegirine, etc. which are of importance in geology. However, phase equilibria in this system are indeed very complex due to the change of Fe oxidation state with oxygen partial pressure and the substitution of Fe3+ by Al3+ in solid solutions. Moreover, the high vapor pressure of sodium, hygroscopicity, high viscosity of SiO2-rich melts, and high fluidity of Na2O- and FeO-rich melts make the experimental study of this system quite challenging. As a result, experimental results in this system were often inconsistent and limited in terms of composition and temperature. Therefore, the construction of a coherent thermodynamic database for the Na2O-FeO-Fe2O3-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system is essential to optimize existing material processes and to develop new processes and advanced materials.All solid and liquid phases of two binaries, six ternaries and two multicomponent sub-systems in the Na2O-FeO-Fe2O3-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were critically evaluated and optimized in the current study. Using proper thermodynamic models considering the crystal structure of each phase reduces the number of model parameters and thus, enhances the predictive ability of models especially in high order systems. The molten oxide phase was modeled using the Modified Quasichemical Model which takes into account second-nearest-neighbor cation ordering. Extensive solid solutions such as meta-oxides, [beta]"-alumina and pyroxene were treated within the frame work of Compound Energy Formalism with the consideration of their sublattice crystal structures. The wüstite solid solution was modeled using polynomial expansions of the excess Gibbs energy. The sulfide dissolution in the molten oxide phase was modeled using the Modified Quasichemical Model in quadruplet approximation taking into account both first and second-nearest-neighbor short range ordering, simultaneously. Experimental data in the Na2O-FeO-Fe2O3-Al2O3 system were very limited. Hence, key phase diagram experiments and thermodynamic optimization were conducted in this system. Phase diagram experiments were performed using the quenching method followed by Electron Probe Micro-Analysis and X-Ray Diffraction for phase identification. Two- and three-phase equilibria of this system including solid and liquid phases were determined, and the presence of [beta]"-alumina solid solution with a large miscibility gap was revealed for the first time in this work. The developed database was applied to predict the sulfide dissolution in the Na2O-FeO-Fe2O3-CaO-MgO-MnO-Al2O3-SiO2 molten oxide phase which is of high importance for the production of low sulfur steels. Based on the present thermodynamic modeling results, it was shown, for the first time, that the sulfide capacity of Na2O-containing oxide melts is not always a unique property of a given melt composition, and can vary with the gas composition in equilibrium with the oxide melt." --

Book Coupled Experimental and Thermodynamic Modeling of A12O3 CaO FeO Fe2O3 MgO MnO Mn2O3 SiO2  TiO3 TiO2 System

Download or read book Coupled Experimental and Thermodynamic Modeling of A12O3 CaO FeO Fe2O3 MgO MnO Mn2O3 SiO2 TiO3 TiO2 System written by Sourav Panda and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the Al2O3-CaO-FeO-Fe2O3-MgO-MnO-Mn2O3-SiO2-Ti2O3-TiO2 system are important in various applications such as steelmaking, refractories, advanced ceramics, petrology and geochemistry. In the present work, the available thermodynamic database for the Al2O3-CaO-FeO-Fe2O3-MgO-SiO2 system was expanded toward the Mn and Ti oxide systems to develop an accurate thermodynamic database for the ten-component system. For this purpose, a complete literature review, critical evaluation and thermodynamic optimization of the phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of related systems at 1 atm was performed. As part of the thermodynamic study, key phase diagram experiments were performed in the Fe-Ti-O, Mn-Ti-O, Al-Ti-O, Fe-Mn-Ti-O, Mg-Mn-Ti-O, Mn-Si-Ti-O, and Mn-Al-Ti-O systems in air to obtain unknown phase equilibria between the liquid phase and complex solid solutions and resolve any inconsistencies among existing experimental data in the literature.Phase diagram experiments were performed using the classical equilibration and quenching technique. Phase analysis was performed using Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) on all the quenched samples. In the Al-Ti-O system, the solubility of Al2O3 in the rutile (TiO2) solid solution was measured at high temperature. In the Fe-Ti-O system, the liquidus, solubility of Fe2O3 in the rutile (TiO2) solution, and the homogeneity ranges of Fe2O3-FeTiO3 ilmenite and Fe2TiO5-Ti3O5 pseudobrookite solutions were determined at high temperature. In the Mn-Ti-O system, the liquidus, MnO solubility in rutile and the homogeneity range of Mn3O4-Mn2TiO4 spinel were measured. In the Mg-Mn-Ti-O, Fe-Mn-Ti-O and Mn-Si-Ti-O systems, the complex phase equilibria between liquid and solid solutions were experimentally elucidated for the first time in air atmosphere. For the thermodynamic optimization, the liquid phase was described using the Modified Quasichemical Model considering short-range ordering in the molten oxide and the Gibbs energies of the complex solid solutions pseudobrookite, ilmenite and spinel were described using the Compound Energy Formalism considering the crystal structure of each solid solution. Using the thermodynamic models with optimized model parameters in binary and ternary systems, the phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of higher order systems in the Al2O3-CaO-FeO-Fe2O3-MgO-MnO-Mn2O3-SiO2-Ti2O3-TiO2 system were well calculated. The database containing the optimized model parameters in this study is compatible with the other FactSage thermodynamic databases and can be used to calculate any unexplored phase diagram and thermodynamic properties within the ten-component system. The database can be used for the complex thermodynamic calculations applicable to pyrometallurgy and advanced ceramics and used for the optimization of industrial processes and the development of new materials.

Book A Computational Thermodynamic Model of the Mg Al Y System

Download or read book A Computational Thermodynamic Model of the Mg Al Y System written by Saher Al Shakhshir and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ternary system Mg-Al-Y was thermodynamically modeled based on the optimization of the binary sub-systems Mg-Al, Mg-Y and Al-Y using the CALPHAD approach. Mg-Al data was taken from the COST507 database, whereas the other two binary subsystems were reoptemised in this work. Liquid phases were described by the Redlich-Kister polynomial model, whereas the intermediate solid solutions were described by the sublattice model. Ternary interaction parameters were introduced to enable the best representation of the experimental data while considering the occurrence of the ternary compound Al4MgY. The constructed database is used to calculate and predict thermodynamic properties, binary phase diagrams of Al-Y and Mg-Y, and liquidus projections of the ternary Mg-Al-Y. The phase diagrams and the thermodynamic properties calculated with the evaluated parameters were in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data from the literature. The predicted invariant points in the Mg-Al-Y system were 16 ternary four-phase-equilibria points; 7 ternary eutectic points, 8 ternary quasi peritectic points, and one ternary peritectic point. Further, 15 ternary three-phase-equilibria points were determined; 8 saddle points, and 7 binary eutectic points.
