2.2 Assessment<br />

The optimisation of the Cu-Mg-Zr system was carried out using the <strong>da</strong>ta introduced in<br />

this work and from Kuznetsov [82Kuz]. The experimental <strong>da</strong>ta was stored in the file<br />

which was read to the optimisation module. The optimisation was carried out using<br />

the enthalpy parameters for the liquid and Fcc_Al phases. The entropy terms were<br />

excluded because there was no thermodynamic <strong>da</strong>ta available. Figure 3 shows the<br />

assessed phase diagram with the fixed amount of 93 wt.% copper including the<br />

experimental points N2 to N9.<br />

The assessed phase diagram agrees reasonably well with the experimental <strong>da</strong>ta except<br />

the sample N5 which showed minor solubility in the Fcc_Al + CU^ZT phase region.<br />

The calculated invariant temperature was 995.0 K which was lower than the<br />

experimental value of 1003 K. Table 3 shows the assessed parameters of the excess<br />

Gibbs energy in the system. The Laves_C15 was predicted as a binary phase due to<br />

the reason that there was no information available on the solubility of zirconium in<br />

this phase.<br />
