MgZn9 (C 14) and Mg2Zn u in the Al­Mg­Zn system and with the Laves phases in the<br />

Cu­Mg­Zn system.<br />

2 Data Assessment<br />

Due to the experimental measurements planned and carried out after round I of <strong>COST</strong><br />

<strong>507</strong>, revision of some already evaluated systems was desirable.<br />

2.1 The ΑΙ­Mg System<br />

The central part of the ΑΙ­Mg phase diagram was not yet well established until now.<br />

Therefore and because of interest in the formation of quasicrystals in rapidly quenched<br />

samples, the constitution between the /3­(Al,3Mg2­) and 7­(Ali2Mgr7­) phases was reinvestigated<br />

in a collaboration with CNRS at Vitry­sur­Seine [97Su]. The temperature<br />

range of stability of the e­phase is shifted to lower temperatures than reported by<br />

Schürmann [81 Sch]. The phase denoted as ζ by Schürmann seems to be only a modification<br />

of the 7­phase inside the 7 homogeneity range. The 7­phase model in the<br />

compound energy formalism was changed to satisfy the suggestion made by I. Ansara<br />

et al. [97Ans].<br />

A new optimization was made keeping for the phases fee, liquid, hep the description of<br />

N. Sauders [90Sau]. The calculated central part of the phase diagram after this description<br />

is shown in Fig. 1.<br />

2.2 The Cu-Mg System<br />

The parameters of the Laves phase MgCu 2 were modified to accept the lattice stabilities<br />

proposed to be used for all pure elements in the fictitious state of the Laves structure<br />

[92Sau, 93Cos, 94Coe, 94Zen].<br />

G Cu:Cu _C15 ( T ) ­ 3 0 Gf£ R (T) = 15000 J/mol.<br />

G Mg V : e M¡ C15 m ­ 3 0 Gff g R (7/) = 15000 J/mol.<br />

Re­running the least squares program BINGSS with the set of experimental <strong>da</strong>ta used<br />

by [91 Cou] yielded new parameters. These parameters virtually give the same phase<br />

diagram as those reported by [91 Cou] with a maximal deviation of 0.02 mol% in the<br />

solubility limits of MgCu2.<br />

2.3 The Mg-Zn System<br />

In the Mg­Zn system measurements of C 1^0 at 28.1 mol% Zn in the temperature range<br />

650 and 750 Κ were carried out [95Som], which confirm the magnitude of the positive<br />
