Abstract

In the present study standard enthalpies of formation were measured by reaction and solution calorimetry at stoichiometric compositions of Cd 2Pr, Cd3Pr, Cd58Pr13 and Cd 6Pr. The corresponding values were determined to be -46.0, -38.8, -35.2 and -24.7 kJ/mol(at), respectively. These data together with thermodynamic data and phase diagram information from literature served as input data for a CALPHAD-type optimization of the Cd-Pr phase diagram. The complete composition range could be described precisely with the present models, both with respect to phase equilibria as well as to thermodynamic input data. The thermodynamic parameters of all intermetallic compounds were modelled following Neumann-Kopp rule. Temperature dependent contributions to the individual Gibbs energies were used for all compounds. Extended solid solubilities are well described for the low- and high-temperature modifications of Pr and also for the intermetallic compound CdPr. A quite good agreement with all viable data available from literature was found and is presented.
