Thermodynamic Database for Hardmetals, ICEM_2: 

Co-Ta-Ti-W-Zr-C-N

This is a thermodynamic database for hardmetals, describing the Co-Ta-Ti-W-Zr-C-N alloy system. 
This is an extension of the ICEM_1 database,  adding the alloying elments Ta and Zr.  This database can be used to obtain phase equilibria in material consisting of a Co binder with carbides: WC, cubic carbonitrides (Ti, Ta, Zr)(C,N), M6C and graphite. 
 
A detailed description of the ICEM_2 database is available for download
