A thermodynamic assessment of the Co-V system

Abstract

A thermodynamic evaluation of the binary Co-V system has been done using experimental thermochemical and phase diagram data. A consistent thermodynamic description, using a Redlich-Kister model for solution phases and sublattice models for the intermetallics, was obtained, and it agreed well with the critically evaluated experimental data. The model for the solid phases accounts for the magnetic contribution to the Gibbs energy. The addition of a composition dependent magnetic term also led to the prediction of an fcc-Co miscibility gap. The model parameters have been determined using a computerized optimization technique. Several diagrams and tables concerning phase equilibria are presented.
