2.6 Ti-Al-V system<br />
A preliminary assessment of various modeling approaches to the TiAlV system has<br />
been performed in close cooperation with the University of Manchester/UMIST. The<br />
focused work on that alloy system is now carried out by that <strong>COST</strong> partner. This<br />
agreement has also strengthened our focused work on the Ncontaining ternary edge<br />
systems of the quaternary TiAlVN system.<br />
2.7 Ti-Ni-N system<br />
The TiNiN phase diagram has been thermodynamically assessed. The liquid and<br />
the recently found ternary compound Ti 2 NiN x by [95Fri] have been modeled. It is<br />
found that the discrepancies of the experimental <strong>da</strong>ta between [9 IB in] and [79Fuk]<br />
are due to the different experimental conditions. They are essentially in good<br />
agreement. A number of missing key experiments are identified by the preliminary<br />
calculations. These experiments have been performed in close cooperation by the<br />
Universität Wien. This work is close to completion, and the publications are in<br />
preparation.<br />
2.8 Ti-Al-Ni system<br />
A thermodynamic assessment of the Nirich part of the TiAlNi system has recently<br />
been provided by our <strong>COST</strong> partner, the LTPCM-ENSEEG , Grenoble [95Dup]. The<br />
purpose of our work is to use this as a basis for the development of a thermodynamic<br />
<strong>da</strong>taset for the entire composition range. Experimental <strong>da</strong>ta on the TiNiAl system<br />
have been thermodynamically evaluated to plan new key experiments in order to<br />
obtain reliable <strong>da</strong>ta for optimization of the system in the composition region less than<br />
50 at.% Ni. Part of the experimental work was carried out at our <strong>COST</strong> partner<br />
Universität Wien. Further experimental work is being carried out currently at TU<br />
Clausthal. All the experimental work is <strong>do</strong>ne in close cooperation with our partner at<br />
the Universität Wien, involving also the exchange of a graduate student for 3 months.<br />
The purposes are mainly to check the tielines Ti 3 AlH(TiNi 2 Al) and λ(ΤίΝίΑΙ)-<br />
Ti 2 Ni, and determine the phase relationships of the π(Τί 5 Νί 2 Α1| 3 ) phase and its<br />
stability. These key <strong>da</strong>ta will allow for a final thermodynamic modeling of the entire<br />
ternary system. Work is in progress and will be published in due course by the end of<br />
our project.<br />

3.1.1 AIN/Ti interface reaction: Joining of A1N with Ti-braze [97Zenl]<br />
Since A1N and Ti are not in equilibrium at high temperatures, interfacial reactions<br />
will occur when A1N is joined by titanium braze. Fig. 11 in Appendix III shows the<br />
calculated isothermal section of the Ti-Al-N system at 1200°C and the imposed<br />
reaction path of the AIN/Ti contact system in accor<strong>da</strong>nce with [95E1S]. This path has<br />
