Abstract

The phase transformations of the Sn-Ag-Ni system were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Based on the experimental data of phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties determined by the present work and previous literature, the thermodynamic assessments of the Sn-Ag-Ni system were carried out using the calculation of phase diagrams (CALPHAD) method. The thermodynamic parameters for describing the phase equilibria were optimized, and reasonable agreement between the calculations and experimental data was obtained in the Sn-Ag-Ni ternary system.
