Computer-aided thermodynamics of fcc solid ternary Fe–Co–Cr alloys by Knudsen cell mass spectrometry

The fcc solid ternary Fe–Co–Cr alloys have been investigated thermodynamically by means of computer-aided Knudsen cell mass spectrometry. The “Digital Intensity Ratio” (DIR) method has been applied for the determination of the thermodynamic excess properties. The ternary thermodynamically adapted power (TAP) series concept is used for the algebraic representation of the molar excess properties. The corresponding TAP parameters as well as the values of the molar excess Gibbs energies GEGE, of the molar heats of mixing HEHE, of the molar excess entropies SESE, and of the thermodynamic activities at 1673 K are presented.
