Gibbs Free Energy Calculation of Al-Cu Alloy Using Thermo-Calc Software for Microstructure Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The conformation of volume free energy is very important for microstructure simulation with phase-field method. However, the conformation of volume free energy is still correspondingly simple and ideal at present. In this paper, a new conformation method of free energy is mentioned. Free energy of each phase at appointed states is calculated by Thermo-Calc software. Free energy of each phase is fitted by multiple-point function according to sub- regular solution model. It is obtained that the free energy data and phase graph data of α phase, θ phase and L phase in the extension, temperature (791-841) K and component (0-35)Cu(at.%) with Al-Cu eutectic alloy.
