ABSTRACTThis work shows that realistic irradiation-induced phase separation and the resulting microstructures can be obtained via an adapted Phase Field (PF) modelling combined with atomistic Monte Carlo simulations in the pseudo-grand canonical ensemble. The last allow for calculating the equilibrium phase diagram of the silver-copper alloy, chosen as a model of binary systems with large miscibility gap and, for extracting the parameters of the excess free-energy PF functional. Relying on this methodology, the equilibrium phase diagram of the alloy is predicted in excellent agreement with its experimental counterpart whereas, under irradiation, the predicted microstructures are functions of the irradiation parameters. Different irradiation conditions trigger the formation of various microstructures consistently presented as a non-equilibrium “phase diagram” aiming at facilitating the comparison with experimental observations.

Binary thermodynamic data, successfully used for phase diagram calculations of the binary systems In-Sb, Pb-Sb and In-Pb, were used for the prediction of the phase equilibria in the ternary In-Sb-Pb system. The predicted equilibrium phase diagram of the vertical Pb-InSb section was compared with the results of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and optical microscopy. The calculated phase diagram of the isothermal section at 300 ?C was compared with the experimentally (SEM, EDX) determined composition of phases in the chosen alloys after annealing. Very good agreement between the binary-based thermodynamic prediction and the experimental data was found in all cases. The calculated liquidus projection of the ternary In-Sb-Pb system is also presented.

High temperature microcalorimetry is a very fruitful technique for increasing our knowledge of the thermochemistry of multicomponent alloys. As a good example, calorimetric results obtained for the Al + Bi + Ga system have been selected. Using a Calvet microcalorimeter and the indirect drop method, enthalpies of formation were measured over the entire concentration range between 725 and 1170 K and several points of the phase diagram were deduced from these calorimetric results. By means of a computer program, the Al + Bi + Ga equilibrium phase diagram was calculated and thus a thermodynamic description can be predicted. Making use of some simplifying hypotheses, the results indicate a satisfactory agreement between the experimental and the calculated liquid miscibility gap.

Intermetallic formation at 425°C in the aluminum–copper system has been studied by scanning electron microscopy using welded diffusion couples. Several Al–Cu phases predicted by the equilibrium phase diagram of the elements and voids taking place in the diffusion zone have been detected in the couples. The predominant phases were found to be Al 2 Cu 3 and the solid solution of Al in Cu, α. The growth of the intermetallic layer obeyed the parabolic law.

The study of diffusion processes in the aluminum - copper system was carried out at the temperature 350 and 520 °C. Special attention was paid on the chemical composition of the system near Al/Cu interface. It was determined that the intermediate phases in the system, corresponding to the equilibrium phase diagram, were not formed at low temperature. At high temperature the intermediate phases forms starting with Cu - rich phases. In both cases supersaturated solid solution of copper in aluminum could be observed near the interface.
