Abstract: | The binary Gd-Li and the ternary Gd-Li-Mg systems were studied experimentally by thermal analysis and phase equilibration and also by thermodynamic calculations using the CALPHAD method. Ternary phase equilibria at 250 °C were studied with 55 different alloys that were annealed for 400 h and analyzed by x-ray diffractometry. A thermodynamic assessment of the binary Gd-Li system was also performed and the calculated phase diagram is presented. In the Gd-Li-Mg system, ternary solubilities of Li in GdMg (up to 5 at.% Li), GdMg2 (up to approximately 3 at.% Li), and GdMg3 (up to 5 at.% Li) were found at 250 °C. No ternary compound was observed. Lattice parameters for different compositions are given for these phases. Thermal analysis using a ternary key sample of composition near the invariant reaction L′=L+(βGd)+GdMg provided the data that were needed to determine a thermodynamic parameter for the ternary liquid. Thermodynamic data sets for the ternary solid solution phases were also developed. Based on the present data sets and those of the binary Gd-Mg and Li-Mg systems from the literature, the phase equilibria in the entire ternary system were calculated. Isothermal and vertical sections of the phase diagram and the projection of the liquidus surface are shown. These calculated phase diagrams are well supported by the experimental data. |
