Calorimetric and phase diagram studies of the Co–Sn system

Phase diagram investigations of the Ni–Sn–Bi system

“…the selections of the initial compositions, see Table 1) and the choice of the working temperatures were done, taking into consideration the particularities of the binary Ni-Sn [5][6][7][8][9][10] and Ni-Bi [5,[11][12][13] phase diagrams. Powders (325 mesh) of pure metals (Ni (4N), Sn (5N), Bi (4N)) (production of Goodfellow) were used to prepare pellets (5 mm of diameter and 3-4 mm thick) with predetermined compositions, in a glove box under argon atmosphere using a manual press ( Table 1).…”

“…It was reported that either NiBi 3 or Ni 3 Sn 4 phases grow from liquid tin and bismuth solders, depending on the concentration. The binary end-systems Bi-Sn, Ni-Bi and Ni-Sn are relatively known [4,5] but the investigations continue [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Hydrothermal synthesis and electrochemical properties of nano-sized Co–Sn alloy anodes for lithium ion batteries

“…The emergence of CoSn in the sample after heat-treatment is considered to be related to the thermal stability of CoSn 2 . CoSn 2 will decompose to CoSn and Sn at 572 • C according to the Co-Sn binary phase diagram [17]. The nanosized feature of CoSn 2 may lead to this decomposition at a lower temperature.…”

Effects of Co Addition on Bulk Properties of Sn-3.5Ag Solder and Interfacial Reactions with Ni-P UBM

“…Actually, a few studies have reported the existence of Co 3 Sn IMCs in the binary Sn-Co system. 12,13 Therefore, they are believed to be Co 3 Sn IMCs as a primary phase of solidification. Figure 3 exhibits the values of a Vickers hardness number (VHN) as a function of the Co content.…”
