Critical review of the Fe-Y binary system has been performed and available experimental and calculated data have been collected. Thermodynamic parameters were optimized using the CALPHAD method. New experimental results of Gibbs energy and Ab-initio calculations of enthalpy of formation of intermetallic compounds have been taken into account. A self-consistent thermodynamic description of the Fe-Y system has been obtained. Problems of thermodynamic modelling in this system have been discussed. The results calculated using thermodynamic descriptions derived in the present work are compared with ones previously published using general ''v 2 ''-criterion. This criterion allows taking into account the number independent optimized parameters used in the optimization. The calculated agreement criterion has shown that thermodynamic description of the present work describes experimental data better than earlier published ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
