Description

The Mg-Nd system was critically assessed by means of the CALPHAD technique. The solution phases (liquid, body-centered cubic, double hexagonal close-packed and hexagonal close-packed) were modeled with the Redlich-Kister equation. The intermetallic compounds Mg41Nd5, Mg3Nd and MgNd, which have a homogeneity range, were treated as the formulae (Mg, Nd)41(Mg, Nd)5, Mg3(Mg, Nd) and Mg(Mg, Nd) by a two-sublattice model with Mg and Nd or Mg on the first sublattice, and Mg and Nd on the second one, respectively. The compound Mg2Nd was treated as a stoichiometric compound. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters of the Mg-Nd system was obtained. (orig.)
