Abstract
The monotectic reaction L″=L′+δMn in the binary system Mg-Mn was measured at about 1200 °C using differential thermal analysis. This was possible by sealing the samples in arc welded Ta capsules, thus solving the problem of high vapor pressure of Mg at such high temperature and also suppressing any reaction of Mg with the environment. Problems associated with the reaction of Mn with the Ta crucible are discussed in detail. In addition, a thermodynamic assessment and calculation of the entire Mg-Mn phase diagram was performed, incorporating published experimental data on the Mn solubility in the Mg-rich corner.
