Speech Title: 3D and 4D Computer Models of T-x-y and T-x-y-z Diagrams on the Boundaries of Fe-Ni-Co-Cu-FeS-NiS-CoS-Cu2S Subsystem

Abstract: Design of 3D computer model has been started with a scheme of uni- and invariant states in both tabular and 3D forms. Firstly, the analysis of the geometric structure of T-x-y diagram is depicted in the form of template (prototype). Then experimental data are introduced, and the prototype is converted into the model of real diagram. It is convenient to use the Reference of 3D computer models of T-x-y diagrams of basic topological types, which contains the computer models of nearly 300 phase diagrams of ternary and quaternary systems and include the commentaries in the case of questionable (or incorrectly depicted in the literature source) geometric elements. Since the combined diagrams include the majority of real systems, then, composing the combinations of the known topology diagrams from the Reference, it is possible to obtain the computer models of necessary configuration. Based on the example of complex combined diagrams it is more easily to understand as with the aid of the scheme of uni- and invariant states to decode the geometric structure, given by liquidus and several isothermal sections and isopleths in the sub-solidus. E.g. the high-temperature part (above 914oC) of the T-x-y diagram of the subsystem Fe-FeS-Cu2S-Cu contains 68 surfaces, including the liquid immiscibility surface, and 32 phase regions. The analysis of geometric structure is carried out with the aid of the computer models of phase diagrams with the liquid immiscibility, which are formed by binary systems with monotectics, either with monotectic transformations in the ternary system without the immiscibility in binary systems, with immiscibility of three and even four liquid phases in the ternary system, and also diagrams with the syntectic uni- and invariant transformations have been designed. The coordinates of the prototype invariant points are given taking into account a temperature row, so as to most clearly show the diagram geometric structure.
