M. Lindholm, A THERMODYNAMIC DESCRIPTION OF THE FE-CR-SI SYSTEM WITH EMPHASIS ON THE EQUILIBRIA OF THE SIGMA-[SIGMA] PHASE, Journal of phase equilibria, 18(5), 1997, pp. 432-440
The Fe-Cr-Si system has been of interest for a long time because of th
e beneficial effect of silicon on oxidation resistance, and also becau
se of the problems it causes by enhancing brittle sigma-phase. The sys
tem has been evaluated using recent data, and the description is satis
factory.
