The Gibbs free energy of formation of a glassy alloy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple expression for the Gibbs free energy of formation of a pure component or a eutectic alloy glass, relative to the stable crystalline phase (or phases) at the same temperature is deduced by use of thermodynamic arguments. The expression obtained is supposed to apply to both monocomponent and multicomponent liquid alloys that might become glasses from the supercooled liquid state, irrespective of the critical cooling rate needed to avoid crystallization.

The heat capacity of a Ni36Nb24Zr40 glassy alloy was measured by adiabatic calorimetry from 13 to 300K. The smoothed values of molar heat capacity were calculated from the data using a least-squares method. The standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy were calculated from the smoothed heat capacity values. Assuming Hð0Þ 1⁄4 0 and Sð0Þ 1⁄4 0 at 0K, the heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and G...

The present work is concerned with the development of a new algorithm for determination of the equilibrium composition of gaseous detonations. The elements balance equations, and the second law of thermodynamics (i.e., the minimization of the Gibbs free energy of products), are used to determine the equilibrium composition of the detonation products. To minimize the Gibbs free energy with tradi...
متن کاملGibbs free energy difference between the undercooled liquid and the phase of a Ti-Cr alloy
The heat of fusion and the specific heats of the solid and liquid have been experimentally determined for a Ti6&r4a alloy. The data are used to evaluate the Gibbs free energy difference, AG, between the liquid and the 0 phase as a function of temperature to verify a reported spontaneous vitrification (SV) of the fi phase in Ti-Cr alloys. The results show that SV of an undistorted fl phase in th...
