Experimental Study of the Sb-Sn-Zn Alloy System

Abstract

The Sb-Sn-Zn alloy was prepared and researched by experimental methods, which allow obtaining information on the thermodynamic stability of the coexisting phases. Thermal analysis was used to determine the phase transition temperatures of experimental alloys. Equilibrium composition of coexisting phases after long-term temperature equilibration was determined by electron microscopy. The existence of one ternary stoichiometric phase Sb2SnZn was experimentally confirmed by diffraction technique. The CALPHAD method for prediction of the phase diagram of the Sb-Sn-Zn system from binary subsystems was used in this work.
