Abstract
In an attempt to better determine the composition of the ternary eutectic in the Au-Pb-Sn system, a series of alloys were fabricated near the proposed eutectic composition. These alloys were observed using standard metallographic techniques in addition to thermal analysis to determine which, if any, were closer to the true ternary eutectic. Results from this work have shown that Prince’s currently accepted eutectic is near but not at the true ternary eutectic. In addition, this work also shows that thermal analysis coupled with metallographic techniques is an improved method for determination of phase equilibria in this system.
