Abstract:The activities of Sn in the liquid solder ternary alloy Sn-Au-Cu at 900 K have been computed using the molecular interaction volume model (MIVM). The calculated values have been compared with the experimental data for three cross-sections, i.e., for three different ratios of aurum to copper (XAu:XCu) = 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3. In addition, the excess Gibbs free energy of mixing, ΔGEx, for these ternary liquid alloys has been determined using the same model parameters to assess their validity. The resulting values ha… Show more
