A crystallographically consistent optimization of the Zn–Fe system

Crystallographically based sublattice models have been constructed for all intermediate phases in the Zn–Fe system. The parameters of the models describing the Gibbs energies of these phases, as well as LIQUID, BCC, FCC and HCP substitutional solutions, were found by means of the CALPHAD technique. In comparison with the most recent model, the number of coefficients in the expressions for the excess Gibbs energies is significantly reduced. That …
