Abstract

Based on critical review for the available experimental phase diagram data of the Al-Cu-Fe-Mn, Al-Cu-Fe-Ni, Al-Cu-Fe-Si, Al-Fe-Mg-Si, Al-Fe-Mn-Si, and Al-Mg-Mn-Zn systems, a set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters for these systems has been established using CALPHAD approach. In combination with the constituent binary, ternary, and quaternary systems, a thermodynamic database for the Al-Cu-Fe-Mg-Mn-Ni-Si-Zn system is developed. The calculated phase diagrams and invariant reactions agree well with the experimental data. The obtained database has been used to describe the solidification behaviour of Al alloys: Al365.1(91.95Al-0.46Fe-0.3Mg-0.32Mn-6.97Si, in wt.%) and Al365.2 (92.77Al-0.08Fe-0.35Mg-6.8Si, in wt.%) under both equilibrium and Gulliver-Scheil non-equilibrium conditions. The reliability of the present thermodynamic database is verified by the good agreement between calculation and measurement for both equilibrium and Gulliver-Scheil non-equilibrium solidification.
