Abstract

The system Al–Cr–C contains one ternary phase, Cr2AlC. By combining a Calphad assessment with ab initio calculations and differential thermal analysis, the Gibbs energy of Cr2AlC could be determined and the complete phase diagram calculated. Cr2AlC melts incongruently at about 1773K to form Cr7C3 (or Cr3C2) and Al4C3 in addition to liquid. According to the ab initio calculations the equilibrium composition of Cr2AlC is very nearly stoichiometric, but can dissolve some Al metastably by replacing Cr. The agreement between the thermodynamic calculation and the various sources of information is excellent.

Keywords: Al–Cr–C; Phase diagram; Calphad; Ab initio
