First-principles and CALPHAD-type study of the Ir-Mo and Ir-W systems
Abstract
This study presents the thermodynamic modeling of the Ir-Mo and Ir-W systems by means of the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) approach supported with the first-principles calculations. A critical evaluation of the phase equilibria and the thermodynamic property data in literature was conducted for both systems. Due to the lack of experimental data, the first-principles calculations were applied to obtain the formation enthalpies of the solid phases. The thermodynamic parameters were assessed using the PARROT module of Thermo-Calc. A set of self-consistent parameters for the Ir-Mo and Ir-W systems was obtained after the optimization. Satisfactory agreement between the calculated results and the experimental data, including phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties, has been achieved.
