23 - 009Present Achievements, Problems and Perspectives Associated witha Semiempirical Study of the Al–Cu–Mg–Si–Zn Light Alloy System.— Key experiments for the improvement of the thermodynamic descriptionof the system mentioned above are identified. A review of the main featuresand models is presented. The use of more physically realistic models forthe representation of multicomponent systems is discussed. The perspectivesfor further assessments by use of the Calphad method are very promising.— (FRIES, S. G.; HURTADO, I.; JANTZEN, T.; SPENCER, P. J.; HARIKUMAR, K. C.; ALDINGER, F.; LIANG, P.; LUKAS, H.
