Thermodynamic Properties and Melting Behavior of Bi–Sn–Zn Alloys

Thermodynamic assessment of the Bi–Sn–Zn System

“…We also obtained very good agreement between the calculations and recent experimental results taken from [47] for selected vertical sections. This comparison is shown in Fig.…”

“…These results were compared with experimental data, both from our work [5] and the literature [43,45,47]. The agreement is excellent for a broad set of experimental measurements carried out by different authors.…”

“…The results of this assessment have been verified by comparing calculated isopleths with selected phase equilibrium data from Braga et al [5] and Muzaffar [43] as well as with more recent data from Luef et al [47]. They are shown in Figs.…”

“…They either took these values from various versions of the SGTE unary database [10,19] or, in some cases, carried out their own assessment of the unary data [7]. Recently, Luef et al [47] published an experimental study of this ternary system and determined partial and integral enthalpies of mixing of liquid Bi-Sn-Zn alloys at 500 • C by a drop calorimetric technique. Experiments were Fig.…”

“…These experimental data were supplemented with new experimentally determined integral enthalpies of mixing of liquid Bi-Sn-Zn alloys [47] and the activities [45].…”
