Abstract:
The partial thermodynamic functions of the tantalum–oxygen system (up to O/Ta=2.5) were evaluated from 873 to 3120 K. The pressure–composition–temperature (p–C–T) relationship in the single-phase region of solid Ta was investigated. Relationships for other phases where no data are available in the literature were proposed based on thermodynamic analysis. The results are presented as oxygen isobars superimposed on a phase diagram.
