Thermodynamic Optimization of the Sc-X (X = La, Li, Ca, Cr) Systems

The Sc-X (X = La, Li, Ca, Cr) systems have been thermodynamically assessed by means of the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) method. For each of the binary systems, a set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters has been obtained. Comparisons between the calculated and measured phase diagrams show that the experimental data are satisfactorily accounted for by the present thermodynamic modeling.
