Thermodynamic properties of chromium silicides

Conclusions The method of measuring the emf's of high-temperature galvanic cells was employed for determining the isobaric-isothermal potentials, entropies, and heats of formation of the chromium silicides CrSi₂, CrSi, Cr₅Si₃, and Cr₃Si in the temperature range 700–850°C. Using literature data upon the enthalpies and entropies of the chromium silicides and pure chromium and silicon, the standard heats and entropies of formation of these silicides were calculated.Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 7 (115), pp. 61–65, July, 1972.
