Based on the available experimental information, the Au-Bi binary system has been thermodynamically assessed using the CALPHAD method. The solution phases, including liquid, fcc_A1, and rhombohedral_A7, were modeled as substitutional solutions, while the intermediate compound Au 2 Bi was described as a stoichiometric compound. Combined with the available thermodynamic parameters of the Au-Sb and Bi-Sb binary systems, a thermodynamic description of the Au-Bi-Sb ternary system has been developed to reproduce the reported phase equilibria. The liquidus projection and several vertical and isothermal sections of this ternary system have been calculated, which are in reasonable agreement with the reported experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
