Abstract<br />

This research forms part of the <strong>COST</strong><strong>507</strong>-II programme on the Ti-Al-metalnonmetal<br />

system (Leading systems 5 and 6). It includes assessments and<br />

thermodynamic modeling of the Ti-N, V-N, Ti-Al-N, Ti-V-N and Al-V-N systems.<br />

Missing or inconsistent experimental <strong>da</strong>ta on the ternary systems have been<br />

identified. These special experiments were performed partly in the own lab and<br />

partly by our <strong>COST</strong> partners at the Universität Wien. Substantial cooperation on<br />

assessment involved especially the LTPCM-ENSEEG, Grenoble, and the University<br />

of Manchester/UMIST. Our accomplishments are <strong>do</strong>cumented in seven publications,<br />

given as appendices to this report.<br />

Further work on the Ti-Ni-N and Ti-Al-Ni systems is currently under way,<br />

involving thermodynamic modeling as well as the performance of key experiments,<br />

again in cooperation with the Universität Wien. This work is depicted here. It will be<br />

finalized and published with the termination of our project in May 1997.<br />

The application of the generated thermodynamic <strong>da</strong>tasets to a variety of<br />

technological problems in materials design and processing of materials is<br />

emphasized. Exciting applications are given, covering the span between metallic<br />

titanium alloys and the nitride ceramics.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

The overall system currently under study is the Ti-Al-metal-nonmetal system. This<br />

report addresses especially the quaternary Ti-Al-V-N, which is essentially described<br />

by its ternary edge systems. An extension into important subsystems of the<br />

quaternary Ti-Al-Ni-N is also given.<br />

Most of our work has been finalized to a publication level. The second section<br />

provides a concise description of the specific systems which were part of our study.<br />

The third section emphasizes applications. Details are given in an appendix<br />

composed of the matching publications which emerged from this project. Work on<br />

the systems involving Ni is in progress and will be finalized at the end of our still<br />

ongoing project within <strong>COST</strong><strong>507</strong>-II by May 1997.<br />
