Abstract
Phase compositions at the In-rich peritectic isotherm in the In-Sn phase diagram and related liquidus and solidus slopes were determined through differential scanning calorimetry. The resultant liquid composition at the peritectic temperature was essentially the same as reported in previous work [64Heu, 83Eva], but the compositions of primary (In) and peritectic β were significantly higher in the solute element Sn than previously reported. These higher levels of Sn are most likely due to reduced microsegregation resulting from the very slow heating and cooling rates utilized in this work.
