New possibilities of recently constructed high-temperature solution calorimeter

Abstract

The calorimeter presented in this paper is constructed under supervision of authors. The most substantial innovation of construction of the device was introduction of intermediate container with ten sockets. As a result the calorimeter is used for determination of enthalpy of formation for alloys in a wide range of temperature (up to 1,400 K). As an example results from alloys from the Ni-Al-Cr system are presented, they are aimed to determine directly γ′ / γ′ + γ / γ phase boundaries with use of this "in situ" calorimetric method. Precise indication of phase boundaries is crucial for determination of phase diagrams. © 2013 The Author(s).
