Abstract

A thermodynamic description of the Mo-Re system is successfully developed with the aid of first-principles calculation. The intermetallic phases, σ and χ, in the Mo-Re system were described by sublattice models of Re10(Mo,Re)4(Mo,Re)16 and (Mo,Re)10(Mo,Re)24Re24, respectively, in accordance with their crystal structures and elemental site occupation preferences. The zero-K enthalpies of formation of the end-member compounds defined by these two models were calculated by first-principles method. The first-principles calculated values together with the critically reviewed experimental data from literature were then used to develop a thermodynamic description of the Mo-Re system using the Calphad approach. Calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data. Differences between this modeling and two other recently reported thermodynamic models of the Mo-Re system are discussed.
