The Dy-Pd system was critically assessed by means of the CALPHAD technique.
The solution phases (liquid, bcc, fee and hcp) were modeled with the Redli
ch-Kister equation. The intermetallic compounds DyPd and DyPd3, which have
a homogeneity range, were treated as the phases DyM and MPd3, respectively,
by a two-sublattice model with Dy in DyM and Pd in MPd3 on one sublattice
and M on the other, where M is used as the abbreviation for a mixture of Dy
and Pd. The other phases were treated as stoichiometric compounds. A set o
f self-consistent thermodynamic parameters of the Dy-Pd system was obtained
