Critical evaluation of the Fe-Ni, Fe-Ti and Fe-Ni-Ti alloy systems

The Fe-Ni-Ti alloy system has been evaluated, together with Fe-Ni and Fe-Ti binary subsystems, to provide reliable information for applications and in view of a thermodynamic modelling of the system. Available literature has been critically evaluated, mainly considering phase constitution and phase equilibria, thermochemical and diffusion data, as well as ab initio atomistic calculations. A discussion of the presently available CALPHAD-type thermodynamic assessments is also presented. Finally, new experimental investigations needed to solve uncertain and contradictory data are suggested. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
