3D computer models for T-x-y diagrams of real systems FeO-SiO2-Fe2O3 and Mg2SiO4-CaAl2Si2O8-SiO2 and for their prototypes (with the expanded borders between the phase regions) have been elaborated [1-4]. Afterwards the 3D-puzzles of the exploded phase diagrams (PD) with the phase regions and with the clusters of phase regions as its elements have been printed. When preparing the technical specifications for the phase regions prototyping, the peculiarities of each region or the regions clusters have been thoroughly explained.
The T–x–y computer model for pseudo-ternary system Mg2SiO4–CaAl2Si2O8–SiO2 contains the immiscibility surface, five liquidus surfaces, 23 ruled surfaces, 4 horizontal complexes at the temperatures of invariant points, 20 phase regions. The calculation of crystallization paths was carried out. Using the diagrams of vertical and horizontal mass balances permit to analyze the crystallization stages and obtain the sets of microconstituents for the given mass centers.
The assembly of 3D model of phase diagram is the final stage of its study by the methods of thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction, and the correction of curvature of curves and surfaces in agreement with the thermodynamic parameters of components and new compounds. If there is the contradictory data, then different variants of PD are assembled. The PD computer model permits to compile the scheme of equilibrium crystallization in the concentration fields of various dimensions (point, line (curve) fragment and fragment of the concentration triangle plane) formed during orthogonal projection of all PD surfaces. This procedure is the main step in decoding the genotype of a heterogeneous material. The concentration fields with unique sets of micro-constituents are revealed as a result of calculation of the qualitative and quantitative composition of microstructure elements. In this case, a list of concentration fields with micro-constituents, which does not differ from the microconstituents of neighboring fields of smaller or the same dimension is compiled.
Analysis of two variants of FeO-SiO2-Fe2O3 PD showed that the presence of immiscibility surface of two melts does not affect the micro-constituents set of the heterogeneous ceramic materials of this system. In the case of application of the ultrafast cooling technology of initial melt and its heterogeneous states at various stages of crystallization, the final set of formed materials can be significantly expanded.
