Abstract

The thermodynamic optimizations of the Nd-Sn and Sn-Tb binary systems were carried out by means of the Calculation of Phase Diagram (CALPHAD) method on the basis of the available experimental data including the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria. The Gibbs free energies of the liquid, bcc, bct, dhcp and hcp phases were described by the substitutional solution model with the Redlich-Kister equation, while all of the intermetallic compounds (Nd5Sn3, Nd5Sn4, Nd11Sn10, NdSn, Nd3Sn5, NdSn2, Nd3Sn7, Nd2Sn5, NdSn3 Sn3Tb, βSn7Tb3, αSn7Tb3, Sn2Tb, Sn5Tb4, SnTb4, Sn10Tb11, Sn4Tb5 and Sn3Tb5) were described by the sublattice model. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters of each phase in the Nd-Sn and Sn-Tb binary systems has been obtained, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
