Optimization of thermodynamic and surface properties of ternary Ti–Al–Si alloy and its sub-binary alloys in molten state

摘要

Thermodynamic and surface properties of the ternary system were studied at different higher temperatures (1973 K, 2073 K, 2173 K and 2273 K). The thermodynamic properties were studied using the Chou, Kohler and Toop models. Meanwhile, the surface properties were investigated using the same models plus the Butler model. The thermodynamic and surface properties of the ternary alloys computed from different models were compared with one another. The surface concentration of the components of the ternary Ti–Al–Si alloy was computed using Butler's equation.
