2 s ' PART: ACTIVITY CARRIED OUT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE<br />

COORDINATION GROUP C<br />

THERMODYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION AND EVALUATION OF PHASE<br />

EQUILIBRIA IN RARE EARTH ALLOYS<br />

Summary<br />

Assessment and optimization have been carried out on some selected alloys of<br />

Magnesium and Aluminium with the rare earth metals CR). This work has been<br />

performed in close relationship with the experimental work (phase diagram study,<br />

thermodynamic measurements) being carried out at the same time and reported in a<br />

summary for group A.<br />

-Aluminium Systems.<br />

Revision of the phase equilibria and thermodynamic <strong>da</strong>ta has been carried out for the<br />

binary R-Al systems.<br />

-Magnesium Systems<br />

General properties of magnesium alloys with two different rare earth metals have been<br />

analysed, discussed and used to predict phase equilibria. The systems La-Y-Mg, Ce-Y-<br />

Mg, Pr-Y-Mg and Gd-Y-Mg have been especially considered and their isothermal<br />

sections described and assessed.<br />

A contribution, moreover, has been given to the multi-unit work carried out on the<br />

thermodynamic calculation for the Mg-Mn-Y-Zr system.<br />
