Abstract
The thermodynamic modelling of carbide, nitride and carbo-nitride phases ha s been reviewed and recommendations made. A comprehensive list of assessed phases has been made with a bibliography. Recommended, estimated values for metastable phases have been tabulated. A new method of predicting phase st ability of ordered phases has been outlined. This involves the coupling of CVM (cluster variation method) and mean field approximation calculations. A pplication to the Nb-C system is discussed.
