Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of the Fe-Mn-C system have been analyzed by using thermodynamic models for the Gibbs energy of individual phases. The model parameters have been evaluated from the available thermodynamic and phase diagram information and by using computerized optimization. Most of the experimental information was satisfactorily described by the present set of parameters. Comparisons between the calculations and experiments are presented.
