“…In this work, melting (eutectic) temperature and latent heat of melting of the investigated In-Sn-Zn eutectic alloy were studied using the DSC technique. The determination of the melting temperature was done based on the extrapolated temperature of the DSC peak onset [11,12,21]. DSC heating runs were repeated five times and average values of the melting temperature and latent heat were calculated using the obtained results of the repeated tests.…”

“…However, obtained results from [2] pointed out to the existence of one ternary eutectic reaction in the In-Sn-Zn system with the eutectic temperature of 106 °C and eutectic composition 52.7In-44.9Sn-2.4Zn (at.%). This eutectic composition corresponds to the alloy with the lowest melting temperature in the ternary In-Sn-Zn system, which could be relevant for the development of metallic phase change materials (PCMs) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Thermophysical property data for pure metals and many lead-free solders such as Sn-Pb, Sn-Bi, Sn-Zn, Sn-Ag, and Sn-Ag-Cu alloys are available in the literature [13][14][15]. Also, recently, the thermal properties of the eutectic alloys from the Bi-In binary system and the Bi-In-Sn ternary system have been investigated by Manasijević et al [11,12]. However, such data is still not available for many multicomponent low-melting eutectic alloys with potential usage in the field of thermal energy storage [9][10][11][12].…”

Thermal properties, including melting temperature, latent heat of melting, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity, of a low-melting In-Sn-Zn eutectic alloy were investigated in this work. The In-Sn-Zn eutectic alloy with nominal composition 52.7In-44.9Sn-2.4Zn (at.%) was prepared by the melting of pure metals under an argon atmosphere. The conducted assessment consisted of both theoretical and experimental approaches. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used for the measurement of melting temperature and latent heat, and the obtained results were compared with the results of thermodynamic calculations. The measured melting temperature and the latent heat of melting for the In-Sn-Zn eutectic alloy are 106.5±0.1 °C and 28.3±0.1 Jg -1 , respectively. Thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the In-Sn-Zn eutectic alloy were studied by the xenon-flash method. The determined thermal conductivity of the investigated eutectic alloy at 25 °C is 42.2±3.4 Wm -1 K -1 . Apart from providing insight into the possibility for application of the investigated alloy as the metallic phase-change material, the obtained values of thermal properties can also be utilized as input parameters for various simulation processes such as casting and soldering.

Their key advantages over other types of non--metallic PCMs are high thermal conductivity and high volumetric latent heat [13,14]. Thermophysical properties such as melting point, latent heat of fusion, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity for pure metals can be found in reference literature [15] (Table 1).…”

Low-melting eutectic alloys represent promising candidates for production of phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs are widely used in the field of thermal energy storage (TES). The most important advantages of the low-melting metallic materials as PCMs are their high volumetric latent heat and high thermal conductivity. However, essential thermophysical properties such as melting point, latent heat of fusion, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension for many low-melting eutectic alloys are still unknown. In this study, melting temperature, latent heat of melting and thermal conductivity of the Bi-Sn-Zn eutectic alloy were experimentally investigated. Melting temperature and latent heat of melting were determined by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and compared with the results of thermodynamic calculation according to CALPHAD (calculation of phase diagram) method. Thermal diffusivity of the investigated eutectic alloy at 25 • C was measured by using the xenon-flash method. Based on the experimentally determined thermal diffusivity and the specific heat capacity obtained by thermodynamic calculation, the thermal conductivity of the investigated eutectic alloy was determined to be 22.88 ± 1.83 W m −1 K −1. In addition, the microstructure of the investigated eutectic alloy was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS).
