Abstract
Thermodynamic modelling of the crystallisation products of amorphous solids has been carried out using the computer package Thermo-Gale. Systems inves tigated include Ni-B, Ni-P(-Sn), Fe-Ni-P, Fe-Ni(-Cr)-P-B and Ni-W-P. Excell ent agreement between calculation and experimental results has been demonst rated. It is reasonable that good results are obtained by applying equilibr ium calculations to what starts as a very non-equilibrium system. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
