Introduction Magnesium is the eighth most abundant metal in the earth outer surface at approximately 2.5% of its composition. It is an alkaline earth element (Group II) that crystallizes in a hexagonal structure (hcp-A3). Magnesium is the lightest metallic material used for structural applications with a density of 1.738 g/cm 3 in comparison with the densities of Al (2.70 g/cm 3 ) and Fe (7.86g/cm 3 ). Magnesium alloys have an excellent combination of properties which includes excellent strength-to-weight ratio, good fatigue and impact strengths, and relatively large thermal and electrical conductivities [13] and excellent biocompatibility [4, 5]. is makes magnesium alloys one of the most promising light-weight materials for automotive [6], aerospace, consumer electronic (computer, camera, and cell phone), and biomedical applications due to its biodegradability. It is being used in the automotive industries in steering column parts, shiſt actuators, valve covers and housings, brackets, and intake manifold blades [7]. In nonautomotive applications, small magnesium die cast components are appearing in small engines, electronic devices, power tools, and medical equipment, such as portable oxygen pumps [7]. Recently, Mg-rich Mg-Ca-Zn biocompatible metallic glass having small amounts of Ca (0– 8 at.%) has been found to be suitable for the development of biodegradable implants [4, 5]. Some of the most common commercial Mg alloys are AZ series (Mg-Al-Zn), AM series (Mg-Al-Mn), AE series (Mg- Al-RE), EZ series (Mg-RE-Zn), ZK series (Mg-Zn-Zr), WE series (Mg-RE-Zr), AX or AXJ series (Mg-Al-Ca), and AJ series (Mg-Al-Sr) [8, 9]. For automotive applications, alloys of AM and AZ series are mainly used. AZ91D is the most widely used magnesium die-casting alloy. It has good combination of room-temperature strength and ductility, good salt-spray corrosion resistance, and excellent die-castability, compared to other Mg alloys.

Table 1 Effect of major alloying elements on Mg alloys [23]

Alloying element Effects of AdditionAl Increases hardness strength and castability while only increasing density minimally

Ca Improves thermal and mechanical properties as well as assists in grain refinement and creepresistance Also it reduces surface tension

Ce Improves corrosion resistance Also it increases plastic deformation capability magnesiumelongation and work hardening rates But it reduces yield strength

Cu Assists in increasing both room and high temperature strengthMn Increases saltwater corrosion resistance within some aluminum containing alloys

Ni Increases both yield and ultimate strength at room temperatureNegatively impacts ductility and corrosion resistance

Nd Improves material strengthSr Used in conjunction with other elements to enhance creep performanceSn When used with aluminum it improves ductility and reduces tendency to crack during processing

Y Enhances high temperature strength and creep performance when combined with other rare earthmetals

ZnIncreases the alloys fluidity in castingWhen added to magnesium alloys with nickel and iron impurities it can improve corrosionresistanceAdditions of 2 wt or greater tend to be prone to hot cracking

is different and is needed to be understood Table 1 pro-vided by International Magnesium Association [23] shows anumber of commonly used alloying elements alongside theireffects upon the resulting alloy Many alloying elements canbe useful in a variety of different applications whereas othersare only ideal for very specific applications due to the changein properties

In order to define the processing conditions for mak-ing various Mg-based alloys and subsequent treatments toobtain the optimum mechanical properties knowledge ofthe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of thesealloys is essential In addition phase relations and phasestability under given conditions can be better understoodthrough computational thermodynamic modeling Precisedescription of the binary systems provides an opportunityto approach the phase equilibria aspects of alloy develop-ment and track of individual alloys during heat treatmentor solidification by calculating the phase distributions andcompositions

Several researchers including the research group of thecurrent authors [22 32 41ndash57] have been contributing to thedevelopment of thermodynamic multicomponent databasesof Mg alloys However urgency was felt for an open accesspublication that contains the latest understandings of all theimportant Mg-based binary systems This will provide thenecessary information required for further assessment ofthese systems Generally review papers on thermodynamicmodeling do not contain some of the critical informationlike previous experimental data points and optimized modelparameters Sometimes it becomes very difficult to gatherthis information as some of the literature is very old andscattered in many different articles and not everyone hasaccess to them However these are crucial facts for theregeneration of phase diagram and other thermodynamicpropertiesThus themain objective of this paper is to provide

all the necessary information of essential Mg binary systemsin one place In addition brief but critical discussion of theprevious experimental works on the phase diagrams as wellas thermodynamic properties is provided to justify the latestunderstanding of this phase diagram

This review paper focuses on some of the most impor-tant commercial Mg-based binary systems including Mg-AlZnMnCaSrYNiCeNdCuSn Each of these systemshas been discussed critically on the aspects of phase dia-gram and thermodynamic properties The latest phase dia-gram information along with the optimized thermodynamicparameters is provided Also the crystallographic infor-mation of the intermetallic compounds in each system issummarized All these binary systems have been optimizedusing most up-to-date experimental information Each ofthe phases in any binary system has been assessed criticallyand based on the thermodynamic properties proper ther-modynamic model has been used For example the modifiedquasichemical model (MQM) [79] has been used to describethe liquid phase as this is the only scientific model thataccounts for the presence of short range ordering whereassublattice modeling with in the compound energy formalism(CEF) [80] has been used to reproduce the homogeneityranges of the intermetallic compounds

2 Mg-Al (Magnesium-Aluminium)

This is the most important Mg binary phase diagram becauseAl is added to mg in most of the commercial types ofMg alloys Several researchers [81ndash95] studied the liquidussolidus and solvus lines of the Mg-Al system Murray [95]reviewed the Mg-Al system and his article provides a com-prehensive discussion of the experimental results obtained byprevious researchers According to Murray [95] the assessedMg-Al phase diagram consists of liquid 120573-solid solution with

Several efforts [96ndash100] have been made to calculate theMg-Al phase diagram In addition Zhong et al [101] reporteda complete thermodynamic description of the Al-Mg binarysystem using a combined approach of CALPHAD and first-principles calculations They also calculated the enthalpiesof formation of Al

30Mg23(120576) and Al

12Mg17(120574) as well as the

enthalpies of mixing of Al-fcc and Mg-hcp solution Butexperimental measurement of the enthalpy of mixing of theMg-Al liquid was carried out by [10 12ndash14 21 102] Beltonand Rao [13] and Tiwari [21] obtained the enthalpy of mixingof Mg-Al liquid from emf measurements at 1073K whileBhatt and Garg [12] and Juneja et al [14] derived the enthalpyof mixing from partial pressure measurements at 1073KAgarwal and Sommer [10] measured enthalpy of mixingof Mg-Al liquid using three different calorimetric methodsat 943K 947K 948K and 973K In 1998 Moser et al[11] measured the enthalpy of mixing at 1023K using dropcalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloysat 1073K were determined by [12 13 18ndash21 103] using emfmeasurements The reported results are scattered but showsmall negative deviation from ideal solution

Based on the available experimental data from the lit-erature Aljarrah [104] made thermodynamic modeling ofthe Mg-Al system Their reported parameters have beenused to calculate the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Al system as shown in Figures 1 and 2as it provides the most accurate description of the system in

terms of phase diagram and thermodynamic properties Thecrystallographic information of the intermetallic compoundsand optimized parameters are listed in Tables 2 and 3 Alsothe enthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 4

3 Mg-Zn (Magnesium-Zinc)

Zn is commonly alloyed with Mg in AZ EZ ZK and insmaller amounts in AM and AE series The liquidus in theMg-Zn phase diagram was determined by Boudouard [105]using thermal analysis He [105] introduced a compoundwith Mg

4Zn formula Grube [106] found that Boudouardrsquos

[105] measurements were in error due to contaminationsand the Mg

4Zn compound did not exist Moreover he [106]

found an intermetallic compound that corresponds toMgZn2

and melts at 868K The compound forms a eutectic withpure Zn at 97 at Zn and 641 K No solid solution areaswere defined in the system [105 106] Chadwick [107] founda new solid solution 120573 near the composition MgZn

reported that MgZn2forms a wide range of solid solution

However his [107] results showed higher content of zincdue to the presence of Si impurity Chadwick [107] alsomeasured the liquidus line in theMg-Zn phase diagramusingthermal analysis The reported values agree reasonably withthe liquidus suggested byGrube [106]The compoundMgZn

4 Mg-Mn (Magnesium-Manganese)

Mg-Mn system is characterized by a wide miscibility gap inthe liquid Very limited experimental data are available onthis system and the available data are inconsistent among oneanother Most of the available data are on the Mg-rich sidedescribing the limited solid solubility ofMn inMgAccordingto Tiner [37] the maximum solid solubility of Mn in Mg is20 at Mn at 924K But Petrov et al [133] reported muchlower solubility limit as 103 at Mn in Mg using X-rayanalysis Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [134] critically assessedthe partial equilibrium phase diagram of the Mg-Mn systemfrom 0 at Mn to 30 at Their evaluation was basedon thermal analysis microscopic observation and hardnessmeasurements of Petrov et al [133] They [134] reported thesolubility limit of Mn in Mg as 0996 at Mn No interme-diate compounds between Mg and Mn terminal sides weredetected this supports the presence of the large miscibilitygap in the liquid phase indicating that Mg and Mn atomsprefer to be separated in the liquid and solid phases ThecompleteMg-Mn phase diagramwas determined byGrobneret al [135] using differential thermal analysis (DTA) andthermodynamic modeling Their estimated solubility limitof Mn in Mg was in good agreement with Nayeb-Hashemi

and Clark [134] Two invariant reactions were observed theperitectic reaction L + (120572-Mn) rarr Mg at 085 at Mnand just below 923K and the monotectic reaction L10158401015840 rarrL1015840 + (120575-Mn) at 96 at Mn and 1471 K The calculations ofGrobner et al [135] are consistent with the measurements ofPetrov et al [133] for both the liquidus curve and the solubilitylimit of Mn in Mg Later Kang et al [136] reoptimizedthe Mg-Mn phase diagram Their optimized phase diagramagrees well with the DTA results of Grobner et al [135] Noexperimental data on the consolute temperature of the liquidmiscibility gap was found and the available values are basedonly on the thermodynamic calculations Kang et al [136]calculated the temperature of the liquid miscibility gap as2175 K which is lower than that calculated by Grobner etal [135] as 3475K and by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] as3688K The liquid miscibility gap temperature was loweredin the work of Kang et al [136] to enable good agreementwith their work on the Mg-Mn-Y system without using anyternary adjustable parameter for the liquid phase Recentlya self-consistent thermodynamic model of the Mg-Mn phasediagram was developed by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] Inmost of the cases they reported consistent calculations withthe experimental observations [135]

The crystallographic data of this system and the opti-mized thermodynamic parameters reported by Asgar-Khanand Medraj [32] are listed in Tables 8 and 9 The calculatedphase diagram is shown in Figures 6 and 7

5 Mg-Ca (Magnesium-Calcium)

The first work on phase diagram was reported by Baar [145]who determined the liquidus curves for the Mg-Ca systemBut it was found later that the starting materials were oflow purity The melting point of the starting Ca he used was1081 K and for Mg was 9056 K compared to 1115 and 923K[146] for pure Ca and Mg respectively Further work on thissystem was carried out by Paris [147] while he was studyingthe Mg-Ca-Zn ternary system Their [147] results differslightly from those of Baar [145] However Paris [147] didnot mention the purity of the starting materials Haughton[148] determined the liquidus temperatures in the Mg-richregion in the composition range of 0 to 26 at Ca Theyfound that the liquidus temperatures in this compositionrange are in fair agreement withVosskuhler [149] andKlemm

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

2Ni

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

and CeMg825

in the Mg-rich corner were formed peritec-tically and the eutectic between Mg and CeMg

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

and CeMg2 With the exception of CeMg

and Ce5Mg41

as Ce5Mg39 On

the other hand they excluded the CeMg103

compoundfrom their version of the phase diagram More recentlyOkamoto [165] put back the compounds former formulae andrecommended that the shape of CeMg

be reexamined This is because the two-phase region fieldCeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

2Nd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

and Du [215] Meng et al [216] and Qi et al [217] also madethermodynamic assessments on this system Guo and Du

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

2stoichiometry

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

Table 1 Effect of major alloying elements on Mg alloys [23]

Alloying element Effects of AdditionAl Increases hardness strength and castability while only increasing density minimally

Ca Improves thermal and mechanical properties as well as assists in grain refinement and creepresistance Also it reduces surface tension

Ce Improves corrosion resistance Also it increases plastic deformation capability magnesiumelongation and work hardening rates But it reduces yield strength

Cu Assists in increasing both room and high temperature strengthMn Increases saltwater corrosion resistance within some aluminum containing alloys

Ni Increases both yield and ultimate strength at room temperatureNegatively impacts ductility and corrosion resistance

Nd Improves material strengthSr Used in conjunction with other elements to enhance creep performanceSn When used with aluminum it improves ductility and reduces tendency to crack during processing

Y Enhances high temperature strength and creep performance when combined with other rare earthmetals

ZnIncreases the alloys fluidity in castingWhen added to magnesium alloys with nickel and iron impurities it can improve corrosionresistanceAdditions of 2 wt or greater tend to be prone to hot cracking

is different and is needed to be understood Table 1 pro-vided by International Magnesium Association [23] shows anumber of commonly used alloying elements alongside theireffects upon the resulting alloy Many alloying elements canbe useful in a variety of different applications whereas othersare only ideal for very specific applications due to the changein properties

In order to define the processing conditions for mak-ing various Mg-based alloys and subsequent treatments toobtain the optimum mechanical properties knowledge ofthe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of thesealloys is essential In addition phase relations and phasestability under given conditions can be better understoodthrough computational thermodynamic modeling Precisedescription of the binary systems provides an opportunityto approach the phase equilibria aspects of alloy develop-ment and track of individual alloys during heat treatmentor solidification by calculating the phase distributions andcompositions

Several researchers including the research group of thecurrent authors [22 32 41ndash57] have been contributing to thedevelopment of thermodynamic multicomponent databasesof Mg alloys However urgency was felt for an open accesspublication that contains the latest understandings of all theimportant Mg-based binary systems This will provide thenecessary information required for further assessment ofthese systems Generally review papers on thermodynamicmodeling do not contain some of the critical informationlike previous experimental data points and optimized modelparameters Sometimes it becomes very difficult to gatherthis information as some of the literature is very old andscattered in many different articles and not everyone hasaccess to them However these are crucial facts for theregeneration of phase diagram and other thermodynamicpropertiesThus themain objective of this paper is to provide

all the necessary information of essential Mg binary systemsin one place In addition brief but critical discussion of theprevious experimental works on the phase diagrams as wellas thermodynamic properties is provided to justify the latestunderstanding of this phase diagram

This review paper focuses on some of the most impor-tant commercial Mg-based binary systems including Mg-AlZnMnCaSrYNiCeNdCuSn Each of these systemshas been discussed critically on the aspects of phase dia-gram and thermodynamic properties The latest phase dia-gram information along with the optimized thermodynamicparameters is provided Also the crystallographic infor-mation of the intermetallic compounds in each system issummarized All these binary systems have been optimizedusing most up-to-date experimental information Each ofthe phases in any binary system has been assessed criticallyand based on the thermodynamic properties proper ther-modynamic model has been used For example the modifiedquasichemical model (MQM) [79] has been used to describethe liquid phase as this is the only scientific model thataccounts for the presence of short range ordering whereassublattice modeling with in the compound energy formalism(CEF) [80] has been used to reproduce the homogeneityranges of the intermetallic compounds

2 Mg-Al (Magnesium-Aluminium)

This is the most important Mg binary phase diagram becauseAl is added to mg in most of the commercial types ofMg alloys Several researchers [81ndash95] studied the liquidussolidus and solvus lines of the Mg-Al system Murray [95]reviewed the Mg-Al system and his article provides a com-prehensive discussion of the experimental results obtained byprevious researchers According to Murray [95] the assessedMg-Al phase diagram consists of liquid 120573-solid solution with

Several efforts [96ndash100] have been made to calculate theMg-Al phase diagram In addition Zhong et al [101] reporteda complete thermodynamic description of the Al-Mg binarysystem using a combined approach of CALPHAD and first-principles calculations They also calculated the enthalpiesof formation of Al

30Mg23(120576) and Al

12Mg17(120574) as well as the

enthalpies of mixing of Al-fcc and Mg-hcp solution Butexperimental measurement of the enthalpy of mixing of theMg-Al liquid was carried out by [10 12ndash14 21 102] Beltonand Rao [13] and Tiwari [21] obtained the enthalpy of mixingof Mg-Al liquid from emf measurements at 1073K whileBhatt and Garg [12] and Juneja et al [14] derived the enthalpyof mixing from partial pressure measurements at 1073KAgarwal and Sommer [10] measured enthalpy of mixingof Mg-Al liquid using three different calorimetric methodsat 943K 947K 948K and 973K In 1998 Moser et al[11] measured the enthalpy of mixing at 1023K using dropcalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloysat 1073K were determined by [12 13 18ndash21 103] using emfmeasurements The reported results are scattered but showsmall negative deviation from ideal solution

Based on the available experimental data from the lit-erature Aljarrah [104] made thermodynamic modeling ofthe Mg-Al system Their reported parameters have beenused to calculate the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Al system as shown in Figures 1 and 2as it provides the most accurate description of the system in

terms of phase diagram and thermodynamic properties Thecrystallographic information of the intermetallic compoundsand optimized parameters are listed in Tables 2 and 3 Alsothe enthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 4

3 Mg-Zn (Magnesium-Zinc)

Zn is commonly alloyed with Mg in AZ EZ ZK and insmaller amounts in AM and AE series The liquidus in theMg-Zn phase diagram was determined by Boudouard [105]using thermal analysis He [105] introduced a compoundwith Mg

4Zn formula Grube [106] found that Boudouardrsquos

[105] measurements were in error due to contaminationsand the Mg

4Zn compound did not exist Moreover he [106]

found an intermetallic compound that corresponds toMgZn2

and melts at 868K The compound forms a eutectic withpure Zn at 97 at Zn and 641 K No solid solution areaswere defined in the system [105 106] Chadwick [107] founda new solid solution 120573 near the composition MgZn

5and

reported that MgZn2forms a wide range of solid solution

However his [107] results showed higher content of zincdue to the presence of Si impurity Chadwick [107] alsomeasured the liquidus line in theMg-Zn phase diagramusingthermal analysis The reported values agree reasonably withthe liquidus suggested byGrube [106]The compoundMgZn

Based on the assessed thermodynamic parameters byGhosh et al [22] the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Zn system are calculated as shown inFigures 3 4 and 5 They [22] considered all the availableexperimental data including the recent measurements ofenthalpy and entropy of formation and heat capacity (cp) ofthe intermediate compounds by Morishita et al [129ndash132]The crystallographic data of the intermetallic compounds aswell as the thermodynamic parameters of the Mg-Zn systemare listed in Tables 5 and 6 respectively The enthalpies andentropies of formation of the intermetallic compounds arelisted in Table 7

4 Mg-Mn (Magnesium-Manganese)

Mg-Mn system is characterized by a wide miscibility gap inthe liquid Very limited experimental data are available onthis system and the available data are inconsistent among oneanother Most of the available data are on the Mg-rich sidedescribing the limited solid solubility ofMn inMgAccordingto Tiner [37] the maximum solid solubility of Mn in Mg is20 at Mn at 924K But Petrov et al [133] reported muchlower solubility limit as 103 at Mn in Mg using X-rayanalysis Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [134] critically assessedthe partial equilibrium phase diagram of the Mg-Mn systemfrom 0 at Mn to 30 at Their evaluation was basedon thermal analysis microscopic observation and hardnessmeasurements of Petrov et al [133] They [134] reported thesolubility limit of Mn in Mg as 0996 at Mn No interme-diate compounds between Mg and Mn terminal sides weredetected this supports the presence of the large miscibilitygap in the liquid phase indicating that Mg and Mn atomsprefer to be separated in the liquid and solid phases ThecompleteMg-Mn phase diagramwas determined byGrobneret al [135] using differential thermal analysis (DTA) andthermodynamic modeling Their estimated solubility limitof Mn in Mg was in good agreement with Nayeb-Hashemi

and Clark [134] Two invariant reactions were observed theperitectic reaction L + (120572-Mn) rarr Mg at 085 at Mnand just below 923K and the monotectic reaction L10158401015840 rarrL1015840 + (120575-Mn) at 96 at Mn and 1471 K The calculations ofGrobner et al [135] are consistent with the measurements ofPetrov et al [133] for both the liquidus curve and the solubilitylimit of Mn in Mg Later Kang et al [136] reoptimizedthe Mg-Mn phase diagram Their optimized phase diagramagrees well with the DTA results of Grobner et al [135] Noexperimental data on the consolute temperature of the liquidmiscibility gap was found and the available values are basedonly on the thermodynamic calculations Kang et al [136]calculated the temperature of the liquid miscibility gap as2175 K which is lower than that calculated by Grobner etal [135] as 3475K and by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] as3688K The liquid miscibility gap temperature was loweredin the work of Kang et al [136] to enable good agreementwith their work on the Mg-Mn-Y system without using anyternary adjustable parameter for the liquid phase Recentlya self-consistent thermodynamic model of the Mg-Mn phasediagram was developed by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] Inmost of the cases they reported consistent calculations withthe experimental observations [135]

The crystallographic data of this system and the opti-mized thermodynamic parameters reported by Asgar-Khanand Medraj [32] are listed in Tables 8 and 9 The calculatedphase diagram is shown in Figures 6 and 7

5 Mg-Ca (Magnesium-Calcium)

The first work on phase diagram was reported by Baar [145]who determined the liquidus curves for the Mg-Ca systemBut it was found later that the starting materials were oflow purity The melting point of the starting Ca he used was1081 K and for Mg was 9056 K compared to 1115 and 923K[146] for pure Ca and Mg respectively Further work on thissystem was carried out by Paris [147] while he was studyingthe Mg-Ca-Zn ternary system Their [147] results differslightly from those of Baar [145] However Paris [147] didnot mention the purity of the starting materials Haughton[148] determined the liquidus temperatures in the Mg-richregion in the composition range of 0 to 26 at Ca Theyfound that the liquidus temperatures in this compositionrange are in fair agreement withVosskuhler [149] andKlemm

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

at Ni at the peritectic three-phase equilibrium of liquid

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

liquid immiscibility However the other investigators [230233 234 237ndash239] did not confirm this phenomenon

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

Several efforts [96ndash100] have been made to calculate theMg-Al phase diagram In addition Zhong et al [101] reporteda complete thermodynamic description of the Al-Mg binarysystem using a combined approach of CALPHAD and first-principles calculations They also calculated the enthalpiesof formation of Al

30Mg23(120576) and Al

12Mg17(120574) as well as the

enthalpies of mixing of Al-fcc and Mg-hcp solution Butexperimental measurement of the enthalpy of mixing of theMg-Al liquid was carried out by [10 12ndash14 21 102] Beltonand Rao [13] and Tiwari [21] obtained the enthalpy of mixingof Mg-Al liquid from emf measurements at 1073K whileBhatt and Garg [12] and Juneja et al [14] derived the enthalpyof mixing from partial pressure measurements at 1073KAgarwal and Sommer [10] measured enthalpy of mixingof Mg-Al liquid using three different calorimetric methodsat 943K 947K 948K and 973K In 1998 Moser et al[11] measured the enthalpy of mixing at 1023K using dropcalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloysat 1073K were determined by [12 13 18ndash21 103] using emfmeasurements The reported results are scattered but showsmall negative deviation from ideal solution

Based on the available experimental data from the lit-erature Aljarrah [104] made thermodynamic modeling ofthe Mg-Al system Their reported parameters have beenused to calculate the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Al system as shown in Figures 1 and 2as it provides the most accurate description of the system in

terms of phase diagram and thermodynamic properties Thecrystallographic information of the intermetallic compoundsand optimized parameters are listed in Tables 2 and 3 Alsothe enthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 4

3 Mg-Zn (Magnesium-Zinc)

Zn is commonly alloyed with Mg in AZ EZ ZK and insmaller amounts in AM and AE series The liquidus in theMg-Zn phase diagram was determined by Boudouard [105]using thermal analysis He [105] introduced a compoundwith Mg

4Zn formula Grube [106] found that Boudouardrsquos

[105] measurements were in error due to contaminationsand the Mg

4Zn compound did not exist Moreover he [106]

found an intermetallic compound that corresponds toMgZn2

and melts at 868K The compound forms a eutectic withpure Zn at 97 at Zn and 641 K No solid solution areaswere defined in the system [105 106] Chadwick [107] founda new solid solution 120573 near the composition MgZn

5and

reported that MgZn2forms a wide range of solid solution

However his [107] results showed higher content of zincdue to the presence of Si impurity Chadwick [107] alsomeasured the liquidus line in theMg-Zn phase diagramusingthermal analysis The reported values agree reasonably withthe liquidus suggested byGrube [106]The compoundMgZn

was first discovered by Chadwick [107] and later on replacedby Mg

based on the more reliable X-ray analysis bySamson [108] On the other hand Park and Wyman [109]reported the maximum solubility of Zn in Mg as 25 at Znat 340∘C also they [109] measured the narrow homogeneityrange of MgZn

2as 11 at Zn (from 66 at Zn at 416∘C

to 671 at Zn at 654K) Hume-Rothery [110] studied thesystem in the composition range of 30 to 100 at Zn usingthermal analysis and microscopic inspection Accordinglythe maximum limited solubility of Mg in Zn was determinedas 03 at at 673K Laves [111] identified Mg

Based on the assessed thermodynamic parameters byGhosh et al [22] the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Zn system are calculated as shown inFigures 3 4 and 5 They [22] considered all the availableexperimental data including the recent measurements ofenthalpy and entropy of formation and heat capacity (cp) ofthe intermediate compounds by Morishita et al [129ndash132]The crystallographic data of the intermetallic compounds aswell as the thermodynamic parameters of the Mg-Zn systemare listed in Tables 5 and 6 respectively The enthalpies andentropies of formation of the intermetallic compounds arelisted in Table 7

4 Mg-Mn (Magnesium-Manganese)

Mg-Mn system is characterized by a wide miscibility gap inthe liquid Very limited experimental data are available onthis system and the available data are inconsistent among oneanother Most of the available data are on the Mg-rich sidedescribing the limited solid solubility ofMn inMgAccordingto Tiner [37] the maximum solid solubility of Mn in Mg is20 at Mn at 924K But Petrov et al [133] reported muchlower solubility limit as 103 at Mn in Mg using X-rayanalysis Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [134] critically assessedthe partial equilibrium phase diagram of the Mg-Mn systemfrom 0 at Mn to 30 at Their evaluation was basedon thermal analysis microscopic observation and hardnessmeasurements of Petrov et al [133] They [134] reported thesolubility limit of Mn in Mg as 0996 at Mn No interme-diate compounds between Mg and Mn terminal sides weredetected this supports the presence of the large miscibilitygap in the liquid phase indicating that Mg and Mn atomsprefer to be separated in the liquid and solid phases ThecompleteMg-Mn phase diagramwas determined byGrobneret al [135] using differential thermal analysis (DTA) andthermodynamic modeling Their estimated solubility limitof Mn in Mg was in good agreement with Nayeb-Hashemi

and Clark [134] Two invariant reactions were observed theperitectic reaction L + (120572-Mn) rarr Mg at 085 at Mnand just below 923K and the monotectic reaction L10158401015840 rarrL1015840 + (120575-Mn) at 96 at Mn and 1471 K The calculations ofGrobner et al [135] are consistent with the measurements ofPetrov et al [133] for both the liquidus curve and the solubilitylimit of Mn in Mg Later Kang et al [136] reoptimizedthe Mg-Mn phase diagram Their optimized phase diagramagrees well with the DTA results of Grobner et al [135] Noexperimental data on the consolute temperature of the liquidmiscibility gap was found and the available values are basedonly on the thermodynamic calculations Kang et al [136]calculated the temperature of the liquid miscibility gap as2175 K which is lower than that calculated by Grobner etal [135] as 3475K and by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] as3688K The liquid miscibility gap temperature was loweredin the work of Kang et al [136] to enable good agreementwith their work on the Mg-Mn-Y system without using anyternary adjustable parameter for the liquid phase Recentlya self-consistent thermodynamic model of the Mg-Mn phasediagram was developed by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] Inmost of the cases they reported consistent calculations withthe experimental observations [135]

The crystallographic data of this system and the opti-mized thermodynamic parameters reported by Asgar-Khanand Medraj [32] are listed in Tables 8 and 9 The calculatedphase diagram is shown in Figures 6 and 7

5 Mg-Ca (Magnesium-Calcium)

The first work on phase diagram was reported by Baar [145]who determined the liquidus curves for the Mg-Ca systemBut it was found later that the starting materials were oflow purity The melting point of the starting Ca he used was1081 K and for Mg was 9056 K compared to 1115 and 923K[146] for pure Ca and Mg respectively Further work on thissystem was carried out by Paris [147] while he was studyingthe Mg-Ca-Zn ternary system Their [147] results differslightly from those of Baar [145] However Paris [147] didnot mention the purity of the starting materials Haughton[148] determined the liquidus temperatures in the Mg-richregion in the composition range of 0 to 26 at Ca Theyfound that the liquidus temperatures in this compositionrange are in fair agreement withVosskuhler [149] andKlemm

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

and CeMg2 With the exception of CeMg

and Ce5Mg41

as Ce5Mg39 On

the other hand they excluded the CeMg103

compoundfrom their version of the phase diagram More recentlyOkamoto [165] put back the compounds former formulae andrecommended that the shape of CeMg

be reexamined This is because the two-phase region fieldCeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

Based on the assessed thermodynamic parameters byGhosh et al [22] the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Zn system are calculated as shown inFigures 3 4 and 5 They [22] considered all the availableexperimental data including the recent measurements ofenthalpy and entropy of formation and heat capacity (cp) ofthe intermediate compounds by Morishita et al [129ndash132]The crystallographic data of the intermetallic compounds aswell as the thermodynamic parameters of the Mg-Zn systemare listed in Tables 5 and 6 respectively The enthalpies andentropies of formation of the intermetallic compounds arelisted in Table 7

4 Mg-Mn (Magnesium-Manganese)

Mg-Mn system is characterized by a wide miscibility gap inthe liquid Very limited experimental data are available onthis system and the available data are inconsistent among oneanother Most of the available data are on the Mg-rich sidedescribing the limited solid solubility ofMn inMgAccordingto Tiner [37] the maximum solid solubility of Mn in Mg is20 at Mn at 924K But Petrov et al [133] reported muchlower solubility limit as 103 at Mn in Mg using X-rayanalysis Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [134] critically assessedthe partial equilibrium phase diagram of the Mg-Mn systemfrom 0 at Mn to 30 at Their evaluation was basedon thermal analysis microscopic observation and hardnessmeasurements of Petrov et al [133] They [134] reported thesolubility limit of Mn in Mg as 0996 at Mn No interme-diate compounds between Mg and Mn terminal sides weredetected this supports the presence of the large miscibilitygap in the liquid phase indicating that Mg and Mn atomsprefer to be separated in the liquid and solid phases ThecompleteMg-Mn phase diagramwas determined byGrobneret al [135] using differential thermal analysis (DTA) andthermodynamic modeling Their estimated solubility limitof Mn in Mg was in good agreement with Nayeb-Hashemi

and Clark [134] Two invariant reactions were observed theperitectic reaction L + (120572-Mn) rarr Mg at 085 at Mnand just below 923K and the monotectic reaction L10158401015840 rarrL1015840 + (120575-Mn) at 96 at Mn and 1471 K The calculations ofGrobner et al [135] are consistent with the measurements ofPetrov et al [133] for both the liquidus curve and the solubilitylimit of Mn in Mg Later Kang et al [136] reoptimizedthe Mg-Mn phase diagram Their optimized phase diagramagrees well with the DTA results of Grobner et al [135] Noexperimental data on the consolute temperature of the liquidmiscibility gap was found and the available values are basedonly on the thermodynamic calculations Kang et al [136]calculated the temperature of the liquid miscibility gap as2175 K which is lower than that calculated by Grobner etal [135] as 3475K and by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] as3688K The liquid miscibility gap temperature was loweredin the work of Kang et al [136] to enable good agreementwith their work on the Mg-Mn-Y system without using anyternary adjustable parameter for the liquid phase Recentlya self-consistent thermodynamic model of the Mg-Mn phasediagram was developed by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] Inmost of the cases they reported consistent calculations withthe experimental observations [135]

The crystallographic data of this system and the opti-mized thermodynamic parameters reported by Asgar-Khanand Medraj [32] are listed in Tables 8 and 9 The calculatedphase diagram is shown in Figures 6 and 7

5 Mg-Ca (Magnesium-Calcium)

The first work on phase diagram was reported by Baar [145]who determined the liquidus curves for the Mg-Ca systemBut it was found later that the starting materials were oflow purity The melting point of the starting Ca he used was1081 K and for Mg was 9056 K compared to 1115 and 923K[146] for pure Ca and Mg respectively Further work on thissystem was carried out by Paris [147] while he was studyingthe Mg-Ca-Zn ternary system Their [147] results differslightly from those of Baar [145] However Paris [147] didnot mention the purity of the starting materials Haughton[148] determined the liquidus temperatures in the Mg-richregion in the composition range of 0 to 26 at Ca Theyfound that the liquidus temperatures in this compositionrange are in fair agreement withVosskuhler [149] andKlemm

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

Based on the assessed thermodynamic parameters byGhosh et al [22] the phase diagram and thermodynamicproperties of the Mg-Zn system are calculated as shown inFigures 3 4 and 5 They [22] considered all the availableexperimental data including the recent measurements ofenthalpy and entropy of formation and heat capacity (cp) ofthe intermediate compounds by Morishita et al [129ndash132]The crystallographic data of the intermetallic compounds aswell as the thermodynamic parameters of the Mg-Zn systemare listed in Tables 5 and 6 respectively The enthalpies andentropies of formation of the intermetallic compounds arelisted in Table 7

4 Mg-Mn (Magnesium-Manganese)

Mg-Mn system is characterized by a wide miscibility gap inthe liquid Very limited experimental data are available onthis system and the available data are inconsistent among oneanother Most of the available data are on the Mg-rich sidedescribing the limited solid solubility ofMn inMgAccordingto Tiner [37] the maximum solid solubility of Mn in Mg is20 at Mn at 924K But Petrov et al [133] reported muchlower solubility limit as 103 at Mn in Mg using X-rayanalysis Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [134] critically assessedthe partial equilibrium phase diagram of the Mg-Mn systemfrom 0 at Mn to 30 at Their evaluation was basedon thermal analysis microscopic observation and hardnessmeasurements of Petrov et al [133] They [134] reported thesolubility limit of Mn in Mg as 0996 at Mn No interme-diate compounds between Mg and Mn terminal sides weredetected this supports the presence of the large miscibilitygap in the liquid phase indicating that Mg and Mn atomsprefer to be separated in the liquid and solid phases ThecompleteMg-Mn phase diagramwas determined byGrobneret al [135] using differential thermal analysis (DTA) andthermodynamic modeling Their estimated solubility limitof Mn in Mg was in good agreement with Nayeb-Hashemi

and Clark [134] Two invariant reactions were observed theperitectic reaction L + (120572-Mn) rarr Mg at 085 at Mnand just below 923K and the monotectic reaction L10158401015840 rarrL1015840 + (120575-Mn) at 96 at Mn and 1471 K The calculations ofGrobner et al [135] are consistent with the measurements ofPetrov et al [133] for both the liquidus curve and the solubilitylimit of Mn in Mg Later Kang et al [136] reoptimizedthe Mg-Mn phase diagram Their optimized phase diagramagrees well with the DTA results of Grobner et al [135] Noexperimental data on the consolute temperature of the liquidmiscibility gap was found and the available values are basedonly on the thermodynamic calculations Kang et al [136]calculated the temperature of the liquid miscibility gap as2175 K which is lower than that calculated by Grobner etal [135] as 3475K and by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] as3688K The liquid miscibility gap temperature was loweredin the work of Kang et al [136] to enable good agreementwith their work on the Mg-Mn-Y system without using anyternary adjustable parameter for the liquid phase Recentlya self-consistent thermodynamic model of the Mg-Mn phasediagram was developed by Asgar-Khan and Medraj [32] Inmost of the cases they reported consistent calculations withthe experimental observations [135]

The first work on phase diagram was reported by Baar [145]who determined the liquidus curves for the Mg-Ca systemBut it was found later that the starting materials were oflow purity The melting point of the starting Ca he used was1081 K and for Mg was 9056 K compared to 1115 and 923K[146] for pure Ca and Mg respectively Further work on thissystem was carried out by Paris [147] while he was studyingthe Mg-Ca-Zn ternary system Their [147] results differslightly from those of Baar [145] However Paris [147] didnot mention the purity of the starting materials Haughton[148] determined the liquidus temperatures in the Mg-richregion in the composition range of 0 to 26 at Ca Theyfound that the liquidus temperatures in this compositionrange are in fair agreement withVosskuhler [149] andKlemm

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

2Nd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

and Du [215] Meng et al [216] and Qi et al [217] also madethermodynamic assessments on this system Guo and Du

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

12 Mg-Sn (Magnesium-Tin)

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

2Sn

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

and CeMg825

in the Mg-rich corner were formed peritec-tically and the eutectic between Mg and CeMg

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

8 Mg-Ni (Magnesium-Nickel)

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

2stoichiometry

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

8 Mg-Ni (Magnesium-Nickel)

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

at Ni at the peritectic three-phase equilibrium of liquid

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

and Dinkelacker [150] but differ slightly from those givenby Baar [145] Haughton [148] reported that the invariantreaction in theMg-rich region occurs at 105plusmn05 atCa and790K compared to Baarrsquos results as 1246 at Ca and 787KWhereas Klemm and Dinkelackerrsquos [150] values are 105 atCa and 7895 K which are in good accord with Haughton[148]

Several researchers [148ndash150 159ndash161] measured the solu-bility of Ca in Mg Among them Burke [160] and Vosskuhler[149] reported limited solubility and their results agree fairlywell whereas other researchers reported larger solubility

Agarwal et al [166] measured the enthalpy of mixingof liquid Mg-Ca alloy calorimetrically at 1023K and heatcontents of Mg

2Ca between 750 and 1150K They used these

values together with the experimental phase equilibria from[148ndash150] to calculate the phase diagram of the Mg-Casystem The enthalpy of mixing measured by Sommer et al[58]was not used since it contradictswith theirmeasurementMany efforts had beenmade tomeasure the heat of formationof the compound Mg

2Ca [77 144 151ndash155 166 167] The

crystallographic information of this compound is listed inTable 10 Mashovets and Puchkov [59] and Sommer [60]determined the activity ofMg andCa inMg-Ca liquid at 10801200 and 1010K using vapor pressure measurement

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [177] critically assessed thissystem based on the liquidus temperatures and the eutecticreactions of Vosskuhler [149] and Klemm and Dinkelacker[150] However they [177] placed the melting point of Mg

2Ca

at 988K which is the average temperature measured by Baar[145] and Vosskuhler [149]

Zhong et al [156] used first principle calculations basedon the density functional theory to assess the Mg-Ca systemThey determined the total energies of the pure elementsof various stable phases at 0 K They also calculated theenthalpies of formation of the four end-members of Mg

2Ca

which were then used as input data in the optimizationprocess Their results are in good agreement with those formZhang et al [71] and Yang et al [157] who also performed firstprinciple calculations

Later Aljarrah and Medraj [41] optimized the Mg-Casystem using all the available experimental data Their [41]assessed parameters are listed in Table 11 The Mg-Ca phase

diagram and thermodynamic properties in Figures 8 and 9are calculated based on their [41] reported parameters as theyshowed better agreement with the available experimentaldata The enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Ca

obtained from different sources are summarized in Table 12

6 Mg-Sr (Magnesium-Strontium)

Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [178] reviewed the Mg-Sr systemand their article provides a comprehensive discussion of allthe experimental results obtained by previous researchers[150 178ndash181] The liquidus surface of the Mg-Sr system wasestablished based on the experimental work of [150 180ndash182]Zhong et al [158] provided a fine assessment of the liquidsexperimental data and select them according to the accuracyof the experiments during their optimization The solidsolubility of Mg in Sr has been investigated by Brown [180]and Ray [181] But according to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[178] despite the possibility of hydrogen contamination ofBrownrsquos [180] samples the solidus temperatures he obtainedwere more realistic than those of Ray [181] Thermal andmetallographic analysis by Brown [180] indicated a verysmall solid solubility of Sr in Mg (lt 05 at Sr) This wasconsidered negligible in the optimization of the Mg-Sr phasediagram by Chartrand and Pelton [96]

King and Kleppa [77] used calorimetric method tomeasure the heat of formation of Mg

2Sr Zhong et al [158]

predicted the heat of formation of all the intermetalliccompounds in the Mg-Sr system using first-principles cal-culations Sommer et al [58] determined the enthalpy ofmixing of the liquid alloys at 1080K using high temperaturecalorimetry The thermodynamic activities of liquid alloys at1054K were determined by Sommer [61] using a modifiedRuff boiling technique

Zhong et al [158] utilized the results of first principlecalculations on the heat of formation alongwith other experi-mental data andprovided a set ofGibbs energy parameters forthe Mg-Sr system The heat of formation reported by Zhonget al [158] is in fair agreement with this of Yang et al [157]who also employed first principles calculations to study thestructural heat of formation elastic property and densitystate of this compound

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

8 Mg-Ni (Magnesium-Nickel)

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

at Ni at the peritectic three-phase equilibrium of liquid

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

and CeMg2 With the exception of CeMg

and Ce5Mg41

as Ce5Mg39 On

the other hand they excluded the CeMg103

compoundfrom their version of the phase diagram More recentlyOkamoto [165] put back the compounds former formulae andrecommended that the shape of CeMg

be reexamined This is because the two-phase region fieldCeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

7 Mg-Y (Magnesium-Yttrium)

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

2Nd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

and Du [215] Meng et al [216] and Qi et al [217] also madethermodynamic assessments on this system Guo and Du

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

11 Mg-Cu (Magnesium-Copper)

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

2stoichiometry

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

12 Mg-Sn (Magnesium-Tin)

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

2Sn

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

Aljarrah and Medraj [41] reoptimized the Mg-Sr systemin the CALPHAD approach considering all the availableexperimental data on the phase diagram enthalpy of mixingand the activities of Mg and Sr in the liquid They [41]used modified quasichemical model to describe the liquidphase The intermetallic compounds were considered asstoichiometric The heat of formation of the intermetalliccompounds calculated by Aljarrah and Medraj [41] deviatedfrom those of Zhong et al [158] due to the use of differententropy values as can be seen in Table 15The crystallographicdata of the intermetallic compounds as well as the optimizedmodel parameters by [41] are listed in Tables 13 and 14The phase diagram in Figures 10 and 11 and thermodynamicproperties in Figure 12 are calculated using these parametersas it provides the most accurate description of the Mg-Srsystem The enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds are listed in Table 15

Gibson and Carlson [183] were the first to report the Mg-Yphase diagramTheydetermined themaximumprimary solidsolubility of Y inMg as 263 atY at the eutectic temperature(840K) This agrees well with the results of Sviderskaya andPadezhnova [64] who used thermal analysis to study theMg-rich region of the Mg-Y system Another investigation byMizer and Clark [184] on this system using thermal analysisand metallography showed that the maximum solubility of Yin solid Mg was approximately 379 at Y at 8385 K This isalso in good accord with the results of [64 183]

Smith et al [65] investigated the crystallography ofMgY(120574) Mg

2Y(120575) and Mg

24Y5(120576) intermediate phases

The crystallographic data of the compounds are listed inTable 17 Smith et al [65] also reported the homogeneityranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and MgY(120574) The Mg

2Y(120575) compound

was predicted as stoichiometric by [65 183] But their resultsdo not agree with Flandorfer et al [63] who employed XRDoptical microscopy andmicroprobe analyses to study the Ce-Mg-Y isothermal section at 773K Recently in 2011 Zhao etal [62] published new information on this system based ondiffusion couple and key sample analysis in the temperaturerange 573ndash773K The homogeneity ranges of Mg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) are listed in Table 16 These measurements by [62]

showed significantly different solubility ranges especially forMg2Y(120575) than those from the previous publications [63 65]

Also the solubility of Y in the Mg-hcp has been adjusted byZhao et al [62]

Agarwal et al [67] measured calorimetrically theenthalpy of mixing of the Mg-Y liquid near the Mg-richregion (up to 218 at Y) at different temperatures Activityof Mg was measured by Gansen et al [68] using the vapourpressure technique Their results are in agreement with thoseof Gansen and Isper [69] who used the same method forthe measurement The enthalpy of formation of the threecompounds was determined calorimetrically by Pyagai etal [70] Their results are in reasonable agreement with thecalorimetric data of Smith et al [65] except MgY(120574) forwhich the value of Pyagai et al [70] is twice more negativethan that obtained by Smith et al [65] This is due to thedifficulties in measuring the enthalpy of formation whenyttrium content increases resulting in more exothermicreactions Also Y has a high melting point compared to Mgand this leads to the sublimation of Mg during fusion of themetals [67] The first principle calculation by Zhang et al[71] and Tao et al [162] for all the intermetallic compoundsin the Mg-Y system showed similar enthalpy of formationvalues as those of Smith et al [65]

Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Y system has beencarried out by Ran et al [185] Fabrichnaya et al [186]Al Shakhshir and Medraj [52] Meng et al [187] Guo etal [188] Kang et al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66]Also Okamoto [190] published the Mg-Y phase diagrambased on the assessment of Meng et al [187] But only Kanget al [189] and Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] used modifiedquasi chemical model (MQM) to describe the liquid SinceMg-Y system showed strong short range ordering in theliquid it is more reliable to use MQM in the optimizationas it generally provides better predictions in the ternary andhigher-order systems [189] However the new experimentalresults on the Mg-Y phase diagram reported by Zhao et al[62] were not included in any of the previous assessments

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

8 Mg-Ni (Magnesium-Nickel)

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

at Ni at the peritectic three-phase equilibrium of liquid

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

2and mentioned that it extends from 662

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

2Ni

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The homogeneity ranges of the intermetallic compounds ofthis system considered in all the earlier assessments are basedon very limited experimental data Also those data couldhave been associated with higher experimental error as theyhave been measured more than 40 years ago Zhao et al[62] used solid-solid diffusion couple technique to determinethe solubility of the compounds which usually providesmore accurate measurements Therefore it is decided toconsider the recent results of the solubilities ofMg

24Y5(120576) and

Mg2Y(120575) and reoptimize the Mg-Y system in this paperThe optimized parameters for the Mg-Y system are listed

in Table 18 During the optimization the parameters reportedby Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] are used as the staring value asthey provided good consistencywith the experimental data ofthe phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties [63ndash65 67ndash70 183 184] These parameters are then reassessedin light of the recent experimental results of Zhao et al[62] Small modifications of the parameters for the liquidMg24Y5(120576) and Mg

2Y(120575) were necessary to comply with the

larger homogeneity range of the intermetallic compoundsThe calculated Mg-Y phase diagram based on the recentassessment is shown in Figure 13 with the recently availableexperimental solubility data of Zhao et al [62] as well thosefrom Smith et al [65] and Flandorfer et al [63] The phasediagram calculated from the previous optimization from thesame authors [66] is shown using dotted line The difference

between these two assessments is mainly along the solubilityof the compounds It can be seen that the present calculationcan reproduce the experimental solubility range ofMg

24Y5(120576)

and Mg2Y(120575) as reported by Zhao et al [62] The solubility

of Y in Mg-hcp obtained in this work is about 28 atat 773K which was reported 40 at by Zhao et al [62]Attempt to obtain higher Y solubility in Mg-hcp resultedin poor agreement with the eutectic composition (L harrMg-hcp + Mg

24Y5(120576)) and temperature data from several

other experimental measurements [64 183 184] Also theauthors [62] did notmention the error of measurement of theEPMA which is usually associated with an error of at least plusmn1atHence it is decided to accept the present assessmentwithlower Y solubility in Mg-hcp The enthalpy of mixing of theliquid activity of the liquid Mg and enthalpy of formationof the intermetallic compounds are calculated as shown inFigures 14(a) 14(b) and 14(c) All the calculations show verygood agreement with the available experimental data Theenthalpies and entropies of formation of the intermetalliccompounds are listed in Table 19

Voss [191] was the first researcher who investigated the Mg-Ni system by thermal analysis in the composition range004 lt 119883Ni lt 098 But in his work the purity of Mgwas not specified and the purity of Ni was low (977 wt)Later Haughton and Payne [192] determined the liquidustemperature more accurately in the Mg-rich side (0 le119883Ni le 034) by thermal analysis using high purity elementsBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the system usingXRD metallography EPMA and DTA Micke and Ipser [73]determined the activity of magnesium over the Mg-Ni liquidin the 119883Mg gt 065 composition range by the isopiesticmethod They also obtained the liquidus between 030 lt119883Ni lt 040 According to these investigations there are twoeutectic and one peritectic reactions in the Mg-Ni systemBagnoud and Feschotte [193] investigated the homogeneityrange of MgNi

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

2Ni

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

and CeMg825

in the Mg-rich corner were formed peritec-tically and the eutectic between Mg and CeMg

12occurred

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

2should decompose eutectoidally

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

and CeMg2 With the exception of CeMg

12at

888K and the peritectic formation of CeMg103

at 896Kwere in good agreement with the obtained results by Woodand Cramer [201] Zhang et al [205] recently suggestedslightly shifted compositions for two compounds CeMg

was redesignated as CeMg11

and Ce5Mg41

as Ce5Mg39 On

the other hand they excluded the CeMg103

compoundfrom their version of the phase diagram More recentlyOkamoto [165] put back the compounds former formulae andrecommended that the shape of CeMg

be reexamined This is because the two-phase region fieldCeMg

al [205] increaseswith temperature which violates the binaryphase diagram rules addressed by Okamoto [206]

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

liquid immiscibility However the other investigators [230233 234 237ndash239] did not confirm this phenomenon

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

equilibrium of liquid Ni-fcc and MgNi2

Haughton and Payne [192] mentioned that the solidsolubility of Ni in Mg is less than 004 at Ni at 773Kwhereas Merica andWaltenberg [194] reported that the solidsolubility of Mg in Ni is less than 02 at Mg at 1373KWollam and Wallace [195] and Buschow [163] disputed theferromagnetic behavior of this system They investigatedthe system by heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilitymeasurements and did not find any anomaly in the behaviorof MgNi

2at any temperature

Laves and Witte [164] determined the crystal structureof MgNi

2to be hexagonal hP24-type with 8 molecules per

unit cell and the lattice parameters as 119886 = 048147 nmand 119888 = 158019 nm which are in good agreement withthe reported values of Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] andLieser and Witte [196] The crystal structure of Mg

2Ni was

determined by Schubert and Anderko [197] who reported ahexagonal C16-type structure with 6 molecules per unit celland lattice parameters of 119886 = 0514 nm and 119888 = 1322 nmwhich agree with the values reported by Buschow [163] Thecrystal structures of the compounds are listed in Table 20

Feufel and Sommer [16] measured the integral enthalpyof mixing by calorimetric method at 1002K and 1008KSryvalin et al [72] measured the activity of Mg confirmingthe results of Micke and Ipser [73] in the composition range119883Ni le 030 Sieben and Schmahl [74] also measured theactivity of Mg Experimental data on the heat capacity ofMgNi

2is also available Feufel and Sommer [16]measured the

heat capacity from 343 until 803K with 20K step whereasSchubel [75] measured the same at about 100K step from 474to 867K Enthalpy of formation of the MgNi

2and Mg

2Ni

compounds was measured by [74 76ndash78] Also enthalpies

of formation of the compounds were determined using firstprinciple calculations by Zhang et al [71] All these data arein reasonable agreement among one another

Thermodynamic calculations of this system were carriedout by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [198] Jacobs and Spencer[199] and most recently by Islam and Medraj [43] Xionget al [200] and Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] All theseassessments gradually improved the consistency of the phasediagram and thermodynamic properties with the experimen-tal data over years But with the exception of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] none of the modeling consideredthe short range ordering in the liquid Hence their assessedparameters are used here to calculate the phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the Mg-Ni system as shown inFigures 15 and 16 However in order to be consistent with theexperimental Cp data of MgNi

2of Feufel and Sommer [16]

temperature dependant higher order terms are added duringoptimization of MgNi

2in the current assessment Hence

small adjustment of the optimized parameters of Mezbahul-Islam and Medraj [45] is made in the current work as shownin Table 21 The calculated enthalpy of formation of Mg

2Ni

and MgNi2compared with the available experimental data is

shown in Figure 16(d) and Table 22

at 866K and 42 at Ce They [201] revealed the existenceof CeMg

2should decompose eutectoidally

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

and CeMg2 With the exception of CeMg

3 which melts

congruently all other compounds were considered to beformed peritectically Later Saccone et al [204] studied theCe-rich and Mg-rich sides of the Ce-Mg phase diagramexperimentally using XRD EPMASEM and metallographyTheir [204] findings on the eutectoidal decomposition ofCeMg

12at

888K and the peritectic formation of CeMg103

at 896Kwere in good agreement with the obtained results by Woodand Cramer [201] Zhang et al [205] recently suggestedslightly shifted compositions for two compounds CeMg

was redesignated as CeMg11

and Ce5Mg41

as Ce5Mg39 On

the other hand they excluded the CeMg103

compoundfrom their version of the phase diagram More recentlyOkamoto [165] put back the compounds former formulae andrecommended that the shape of CeMg

be reexamined This is because the two-phase region fieldCeMg

al [205] increaseswith temperature which violates the binaryphase diagram rules addressed by Okamoto [206]

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

and Du [215] Meng et al [216] and Qi et al [217] also madethermodynamic assessments on this system Guo and Du

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Mg2Cu does not have any solid solubility However

MgCu2

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

at 875K They also reported the eutectoidal decompositionof 120575-Ce solid solution at 783K Experimental measurementof the heat of formation of the intermetallic compounds wascarried out by Nagarajan and Sommer [170] Biltz and Pieper[168] and Pahlman and Smith [169] while first principlecalculations to determine the same for the compounds wereperformed by Tao et al [162]

The Ce-Mg phase diagram was redrawn by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [203] considering six intermetalliccompounds CeMg

the other hand they excluded the CeMg103

compoundfrom their version of the phase diagram More recentlyOkamoto [165] put back the compounds former formulae andrecommended that the shape of CeMg

Thermodynamic modeling of this system has been car-ried out by Cacciamani et al [207] Kang et al [189] andZhang et al [208] and later by Ghosh and Medraj [42] usingthe CALPHAD approach All these modelings sequentiallyimproved quality of the thermodynamic description of theMg-Ce system In the present paper the optimized parame-ters published byGhosh andMedraj [42] are used to calculatethe phase diagram and thermodynamic properties as theseauthors provided the latest and most accurate understandingof this system The calculated Mg-Ce phase diagram andthermodynamic properties of the liquid are shown in Figures17 18 and 19 The crystallographic data of the compoundsand the thermodynamic parameter set are listed in Tables 23and 24 Also the enthalpies and entropies of formation of theintermetallic compounds collected from different sources arelisted in Table 25

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

liquid immiscibility However the other investigators [230233 234 237ndash239] did not confirm this phenomenon

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

2Nd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

and Du [215] Meng et al [216] and Qi et al [217] also madethermodynamic assessments on this system Guo and Du

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

11 Mg-Cu (Magnesium-Copper)

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

2Sn

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

liquid immiscibility However the other investigators [230233 234 237ndash239] did not confirm this phenomenon

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg

2Nd is a metastable compound because it was

only observed in the samples quenched directly from liquidand not in the annealed ones Later Gorsse et al [213] alsoreported Mg

2Nd as a metastable compound based on their

microstructural analysisMg41Nd5has been found as theMg-

richest stable phase byDelfino et al [211]They also suggestedsmall solubility for MgNd In addition they reported Mg

3Nd

withmaximum solubility of 6 at at 833K extending towardsthe Mg-rich side Pahlman and Smith [169] determined thevapor pressure of Mg in Mg-Nd alloys in the temperaturerange 650ndash930K by the knudsen effusion technique Ogrenet al [214] determined the enthalpy of formation of MgNdcompound

Thermodynamic modeling on the Mg-Nd system hasbeen carried out by Gorsse et al [213] who consideredthe Mg activities obtained from vapour pressure data ofPahlman and Smith [169] However in their assessmentthe intermediate compounds MgNd Mg

2Nd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5were treated as stoichiometric compounds Guo

and Du [215] Meng et al [216] and Qi et al [217] also madethermodynamic assessments on this system Guo and Du

[215] used Sublattice models to reproduce the homogeneityrange of the intermetallic compounds MgNd Mg

3Nd and

Mg41Nd5 Recently Kang et al [171] assessed all the previous

optimizations and reoptimized this system using Modifiedquasichemical modelThey [171] also employed first principlecalculations to predict the heat of formation of the intermetal-lic compounds which are in fair agreement with the reportedvalues by Tao et al [162]The crystallographic information ofthe intermetallic compounds is listed in Table 26 The phasediagram in Figure 20 has been calculated using the FTlightdatabase [116] The enthalpies and entropies of formation ofthe intermetallic compounds on the Mg-Nd system are listedin Table 27

11 Mg-Cu (Magnesium-Copper)

Three very old assessments dating back to 1900s on theMg-Cu phase equilibria by Boudouard [218] Sahmen [219]and Urazov [220] could be found in the literature Theexistence of two congruently melting compounds (Mg

2Cu

and MgCu2) and three eutectic points were reported in

those works But the most extensive work on the Mg-Cusystem was done by Jones [221] in 1931 using both thermaland microscopic analyses His reported data were not fullyconsistent with the previous authors [218ndash220] Since he used

shows temperature dependent solubility rangeGrime andMorris-Jones [222] reported a homogeneity rangeof 2 to 3 at on both sides of the MgCu

2stoichiometry

Also X-ray diffraction from Sederman [223] disclosed thatthe extension of solubility on both sides of MgCu

2at 773K

should not exceed 255 at (from 6455 to 6720 at Cu)and considerably less at lower temperatures However X-ray diffraction microscopic simple and differential thermalanalysis by Bagnoud and Feschotte [193] confirmed that themaximum solid solubilities at the eutectic temperatures onboth sides of MgCu

2are 647 and 69 at Cu

Limited terminal solubility of Cu in Mg as well as Mgin Cu has been reported in different assessments Hansen[224] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg increases fromabout 01 at Cu at room temperature to about 04-05 atCu at 758K However elaborate metallographic analysis ofJones [221] showed that the solubility of Cu in Mg is only0007 at Cu at room temperature increasing to about0012 at Cu near the eutectic temperature These values arecontradictory to those given byHansen [224] Later Stepanovand Kornilov [225] revealed that the solubility is 02 at Cuat 573K 03 at Cu at 673K and 055 at Cu at 753KThisis in considerable agreement with the metallographic workof Hansen [224] However considering the accuracy of theanalysis of Jones [221] it appears that the solubility limitsgiven by [224 225] are quite high On the other hand quitelarge solubility of Mg in Cu has been found According toGrime and Morris-Jones [222] the maximum solubility isapproximately 75 atMg whereas Jones [221] reported thatthis solubility is about 53 at Mg at 773K increasing toabout 63 at Mg at 1003K Stepanov and Kornilov [225]however determined the maximum solid solubility of 104at Mg using an electrical resistance method Bagnoud andFeschotte [193] placed the maximum solubility at 694 atMgWith the exception of Stepanov and Kornilov [225] mostof these data [193 221 222] are in close agreement with eachother

The vapor pressures of Mg over Mg-Cu liquid weremeasured by Garg et al [120] Schmahl and Sieben [121]Juneja et al [119] and Hino et al [122] All these resultsare in close agreement with each other Enthalpy of mixing

for the Mg-Cu liquid was measured by Sommer et al [117]and Batalin et al [118] using calorimetric method Kingand Kleppa [77] determined the enthalpies of formation ofMgCu

2and Mg

2Cu by calorimetric method Similar values

have been determined by Eremenko et al [123] using EMFmeasurements The vapor pressure measurements of SmithandChristian [76] showed discrepancy with the other resultsDue to different measurement techniques the reported val-ues are contradictory to one another

Several thermodynamic assessments on the Mg-Cu sys-tem have been carried out by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[226] Coughanowr et al [227] Zuo and Chang [228] Thelatest assessment on this system was published by Mezbahul-Islam et al [66] who considered the presence of shortrange ordering in the liquid The Mg-Cu phase diagram andsome of the thermodynamic properties have been calculatedas shown in Figures 21 and 22 based on their optimizedparameters as listed in Table 29 Also the crystallographicdata of the Mg-Cu intermetallics are listed in Table 28Mashovets and Puchkov [59] used modified quasichemicalmodel for describing the liquid and also their phase diagramand thermodynamic properties showed very good agreementwith the available experimental data The enthalpies andentropies of formation of Mg

12 Mg-Sn (Magnesium-Tin)

The Mg-Sn phase diagram has been studied by manyresearchers The liquid near the Mg-rich side of the Mg-Snsystem has been investigated by Grube [229] Kurnakow andStepanow [230] Hume-Rothery [231] andRaynor [232] usingthermal analysis Nayak and Oelsen [233 234] also measuredthe same using a calorimetric analysisThese results are fairlyin agreement with each otherThe liquidus curve nearMg

2Sn

was determined by several researchers [229ndash236] and themelting point of Mg

2Sn was reported as 1043K plusmn (8 to 25)

The Sn-rich liquidus curve was first measured by HeycockandNeville [237] and later on by other investigators [229 231233 234 238 239] Hume-Rothery [231] reported a hump inthis side of the liquidus curve and interpreted it as a slight

The (Mg) solidus curve was determined by Grube andVosskuhler [240] and Vosskuhler [241] using resistivity tech-nique by Raynor [232] using metallography and by Nayakand Oelsen [234] using calorimeter The solid solubility ofSn in Mg was reported by Stepanow [242] and Gann [243]and later by Grube and Vosskuhler [240] Vosskuhler [241]Raynor [232] Nayak and Oelsen [234] and Nishinura andTanaka [244] by different methods According to Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] the solid solubility of Mg in Sn isinfinitesimally small Eldridge et al [245] and Caulfield andHudson [246] reported a very narrow solid solubility rangeof Mg and Sn in Mg

2Sn at high temperature (few tenth of a

percent [245] to 05 at [246])Kawakami [25] Sommer [172] and Nayak and Oelsen

[173 247] measured the heat of mixing of the Mg-Snliquid using calorimetric method whereas Eremenko andLukashenko [248] Steiner et al [235] Eldridge et al [245]and Sharma [127] calculated it from the EMF measurementThe heat of formation of the Mg-Sn solid was determinedby Kubaschewski [249] Nayak and Oelsen [173] Sharma[127] Beardmore et al [174] kBiltz and Holverscheit [250]Ashtakala and Pidgeon [251] and Borsese et al [175] whereasDobovisek and Paulin [176] calculated heat of formationof the Mg

2Sn compound using the Paulingrsquos rule The heat

capacity of the Mg2Sn compound was determined by Jelinek

et al [252] at low temperature (up to 300K) whereas Chenet al [253] determined the same at much higher temperature(300ndash700K)

The phase equilibrium and experimental phase diagramdata are reviewed byNayeb-Hashemi andClark [239] Higher

negative heat of formation values of Mg2Sn were reported by

Sharma [127] Eldridge et al [245] and Biltz and Holverscheit[250] than those by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark [239] along with others like Egan [254]Eckert et al [255] Pavlova and Poyarkov [256] optimizedthe phase diagram using measured thermodynamic dataVery recently Jung and Kim [257] Meng et al [258] andKang and Pelton [259] optimized the same system andmodeled the liquid phase by the MQM They considered thethermodynamic data reviewed by Nayeb-Hashemi and Clark[239] The most recent optimization has been performed byGhosh et al [22] who critically reviewed all the work doneprior to them and reported a more accurate description ofthe Mg-Sn system The crystal structure information andthermodynamic modeling parameters are listed in Tables 31and 32 Figures 23 and 24 show the Mg-Sn phase diagram aswell as some of the thermodynamic properties of the liquidThe enthalpy and entropy of formation of Mg
