Abstract
Ag-Cu-Te is a significant material system, and experimental measurements have been conducted to determine its liquidus projection. Aside from the terminal solid solution phases and binary compounds, there exists a ternary compound known as AgCuTe. The ten primary solidification phases include (Ag), Ag2Te, Ag1.9Te, Ag5Te3, (Te), CuTe, Cu3Te2, Cu2Te, (Cu), and AgCuTe. A liquid miscibility gap with a very wide compositional range is observed. When the alloys are at temperatures higher than those of the binodal curves, they are entirely molten. Interesting spherical-shaped microstructures are observed when the alloys solidify passing through the liquid miscibility gap. Furthermore, it has been determined that there are nine invariant reactions, consisting of three Class I reactions (L ↔ α + β + γ) three Class II reactions (L + α ↔ β + γ), and three Class III reactions (L + α + β ↔ γ). The highest and lowest invariant reaction temperatures are determined to be 849.0 °C and 308.0 °C, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The design of industrial processes requires reliable thermodynamic data. CALPHAD (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) aims to promote computational thermodynamics through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimize and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the CALPHAD journal and its annual conference.
