Maximization of the configurational entropy–this has been the magic formula promising
thousands or even millions of intermetallic multiple-principal-element solid solutions with …

The past, present and future of phase diagram calculations for multicomponent alloys are
reviewed and assessed. The pioneering studies of Van Laar and Meijering in the first half of …

Coatings with thicknesses between a few microns and∼ 10 μm deposited on a Zircaloy-4
substrate have been studied with the objective to provide a significant reduction in the …

A description is given of Thermo-Calc, a databank for thermochemistry and metallurgy
developed at the division of Physical Metallurgy of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in …

Phase diagrams are used in materials research and engineering to understand the
interrelationship between composition, microstructure and process conditions. In complex …

We complete the development and description of a thermodynamic method for the
computation of phase equilibria and physical properties of multiphase mantle assemblages …

A general formalism for multicomponent diffusion in simple phases is presented in some
detail. The formalism is mainly based on previous work by various authors. The purpose of …

The compound energy formalism for solution phases with sublattices is very flexible and
thermodynamic models for a large variety of phases have been constructed within this …

The regular solution model is developed for ionic melts and stoichiometric phases of the
type (A, B) a (C, D) c by a formal method. The validity of Flood's equation for exchange …

Design rules are proposed by which the compositions of nickel-based single crystal
superalloys can be chosen systematically, using models for the most important …
