Abstract

Thermodynamic optimization of the Cu-Al-Sn system is made using classical thermodynamic models for describing the properties of the individual phases of the system. The optimization is limited to the copper-rich corner of the system, the gamma phase of the Cu-Al and Cu-Sn systems being the remotest phase included in the analysis. The data of the pure components and the binary systems are taken from the previously assessed Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE)-compatible descriptions, although a slight reoptimization of data is first made for the bcc, fcc, and gamma phases of the Cu-Al system and for the liquid and gamma phases of the Cu-Sn system. Next, ternary thermodynamic data are optimized for the ternary Cu-Al-Sn system using the experimental phase-equilibrium data of the literature. The results of the optimization are presented by comparing the original, experimental data with the calculations, and reasonable agreement is demonstrated.
