Assessments of molar volume and thermal expansion for selected bcc, fcc and hcp metallic elements

The molar volume and thermal expansion of selected metallic elements with the bcc, fcc and hcp structures were studied by means of the Calphad approach. Experimental data were critically assessed, and model parameters were obtained yielding reasonable descriptions of all experimental data on molar volume and thermal expansion. The descriptions are valid between room temperature and the melting points at atmospheric pressure.
