A thermodynamic evaluation of the Mn-Si system
Résumé
Available experimental information concerning thermodynamic properties as well as phase equilibria has been compiled and used for the assessment of new self-consistent parameters for all phases in the Mn-Si system, by means of the well-known Lukas et al's program. Phase diagram and characteristic thermodynamic functions have been calculated and compared with the experimental values, leading to a very satisfactory agreement. Thermodynamic models and pure elements data are consistent with the S.G.T.E. (Scientific Groupe Thermodata Europe) recommendations. thus, the assessed parameters may be incorporated in specialized solution databases.
