A thermodynamic assessment of the Ag-Au-Sb ternary system has been carried out using the CALPHAD method based on new thermodynamic and phase equilibria data that we have recently determined. The Ag-Sb binary system has also been reoptimized. The calculated phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the ternary system Ag-Au-Sb show satisfactory general agreement with the experimental data. The liquidus projection and monovariant valleys of the ternary system are well reproduced by the optimized thermodynamic model parameters. Additional experiments to confirm the proposed reaction scheme, which involves two ternary transition peritectic reactions, are suggested.
