Literature Data

The first extensive investigation of the Al-Fe-Ni ternary system was the determination of the liquidus surface at <50 mass% Al (≲ 75 at.% Al). Since, a critical assessment of the system may be found in [1980Riv] with minor amendments by [1988Ray] and an update by [1992Bud]. [1994Rag] presented isothermal sections at 950 and 1050°C in the Al-rich part of the diagram (> 50 at.% Al), an isothermal section at 1050°C in the Fe-rich part of the diagram (> 50 at.% Fe) and a vertical section along the Ni₃Al-Ni₃Fe join. The first calculations of the whole diagram by the Calphad method has been carried out by [1974Kau] at 1200, 1400, 1600 and 1700 K. The phase diagram calculated at 1200 K looks strongly like the diagram proposed by [1940Bra1] which represents the structures obtained by a slow ...
