Comparison between measured and calculated thermodynamic data for ternary liquid alloys

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic prediction of the Cu–Sb–Zn phase diagram

“…Given that the data for Cu-Sb system were taken from the assessment presented by Liu et al [9] it should be noted that this assessment represents a significant improvement compared to previous studies [24,25] as ␤ phase has been treated as disordered bcc phase (BCC A2). However, further modeling of ␥ phase (CUSB GAMMA) [9], by using model for the HCP A3 phase, will be necessary, with consideration to the real crystallographic structure over the range of homogeneity.…”

“…One of the earliest studies of the alloys of ternary Cu-Sb-Sn system by Keese [27] included investigation of the influence of antimony on the mechanical properties, Brinell hardness measurements and the isothermal section at 25 • C. In a more contemporary study Peng et al [24] determined activities of Zn at 973 K in alloys of ternary Cu-Sb-Zn system by using EMF method and calculated thermodynamic values based on those results. These values are compared to the thermodynamic values obtained using four different models: Kohler, Colinet, Hillert and Toop.…”

A contribution to the Al-Pb-Zn ternary system

“…Recently, a general solution model (GSM) has been proposed [11,12], whose correctness has already been proved in some practical examples for predicting ternary thermodynamic properties [13][14][15][16][17][18]. As a contribution to a better understanding of the investigated Al-Pb-Zn system, the ternary interaction parameters, necessary for the calculation, are evaluated by the general solution model due to the lack of any other experimental data.…”
