Thermodynamic assessment of the Ca - Sn system

Abstract

Abstract Thermodynamic modelling of the Ca–Sn binary system was carried out. The thermodynamic parameters related to this system were determined from experimental phase diagram and thermodynamic information available in the literature. In this system the liquid phase was modelled by the association model with the “Ca2Sn” associated complex. This consideration permits to well restore experimental values. A set of thermodynamic interaction parameters, the calculated phase diagram as well as the comparison with experimental data are presented.
