A Database for the Fe-Cr-Mo-Ni-N System

A thermodynamic description of the intermetallic phases in the Fe-Cr-Mo-Ni system is presented based on previously unpublished experimental data in the Cr-Mo-Ni system. A review of experimental information from literature together with the new data provides a reliable base for the assessment. Together with previously published alloy systems, an open database for the Fe-Cr-Mo-Ni-N system is provided. Reliable calculations of the stability of the σ phase in the quaternary Fe-Cr-Mo-Ni system are shown, in support for predicted phase equilibria in super-duplex stainless steel.
