Abstract
The Al–Be system is investigated via three steps. In the first step, all of the experimentally measured phase diagram and thermodynamic data available in the literature are critically reviewed. On the basis of the assessed phase diagram, in the second step, eight decisive samples are prepared by arc melting of Al and Be pieces and annealing at 600 ∘C for eight days. Water-quenched samples are analyzed using differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. In the last step, an optimal thermodynamic data set for the Al–Be system has been obtained by considering the present experimental data and the reliable literature data. The calculated phase diagram and thermodynamic properties agree well with the accurate experimental values.
