Abstract

The Al–Fe system has been modeled and optimized with the CALPHAD approach. Heat capacity values from three intermetallic phases (stoichiometric compositions: Al2Fe, Al5Fe2 and Al13Fe4) were experimentally determined and implemented into the Gibbs energy descriptions, thus the estimated heat capacity from Neumann–Kopp is substituted. From these results together with new literature values, a revised dataset of the binary Al–Fe system is presented. Based on the Compound Energy Formalism, the homogeneity range of the Al2Fe and Al5Fe2 phase is represented using a two-sublattice model. In addition, the Al8Fe5 phase has been modeled with a four-sublattice model and the number of sublattices of the Al13Fe4 phase has been changed from a three-sublattice model to a two-sublattice model. The critically assessed parameters provide a consistent thermodynamic dataset and represent most of the relevant thermochemical data as well as phase diagram data within their experimental uncertainties.

Keywords: Al–Fe system; Thermodynamic modeling; CALPHAD method
