A preliminary thermodynamic assessment of the Ir–Nb system, one of the key binary systems of the Ir-based refractory superalloys, has been performed by combining ab initio calculations and the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) technique. The ground-state formation enthalpies have been calculated by the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The free energies at finite temperatures have been estimated using the cluster variation method, where the effective cluster interaction energies have been extracted from the formation enthalpies by the cluster expansion method. The liquid and A1 phases are modeled as substitutional solutions. The L10 and L12 phases are described using the four-sublattice model with the formula (Ir,Nb)1/4(Ir,Nb)1/4(Ir,Nb)1/4(Ir,Nb)1/4, while other solid phases are not considered in the present assessment. The obtained parameter set reproduces well the characteristic features of the experimental phase diagram and thermodynamic quantities.
