摘要

The thermodynamic optimization of the Gd-Cd binary system was carried out with the help of CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) method., GdCd₃, Gd₁₃Cd₅₈ and GdCd₈ have been treated as stoichiometric compounds while a solution model has been used for the description of the liquid, HCP_A3 (αGd), BCC_A2 (βGd) and HCP_A3 (Cd) phases. The intermetallic compounds GdCd,α-GdCd₂, β-GdCd₂, Gd₁₁Cd₄₅ and GdCd₆, which have homogeneity ranges, were treated by a two-sublattice model. The calculations based on the thermodynamic modeling are in a good agreement with the phase diagram data and experimental thermodynamic values.
