Abstract

The methods for modeling the thermodynamic properties of multicomponent systems are described in this article. The rules for creating a consistent database for muticomponent systems are described in general terms and documented in relation to the thermodynamic database for lead-free solders, developed within the scope of European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research Action 531. New assessments and reassessments of the Bi-Sn-Zn, Cu-Ni-Sn, and Ag-Cu-Sn systems are shown as examples illustrating the application of the database for the modeling of lead-free solder materials.
