Abstract
The Re�Si system is assessed thermodynamically, using the CALPHAD
method. The calculated phase diagram and Thermodynamic properties
are in good agreement with available experimental data. Calculated
enthalpies and entropies of fusion are compared with available data
for other transition metal silicides, against melting points, showing
good agreement with the general trends. This is a useful approach
for thermodynamic assessment of alloy systems, where experimentally
measured thermodynamic data are limited. The stability of the amorphous
phase in this system has also been discussed.
