Abstract
The phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of Au-Sn-based alloys are of great significance for designing Au-based alloys as lead-free solders to replace high-lead solders. In this work, based on the experimental data reported in the literature, thermodynamic parameters of AuSn2 and AuSn4 in the Au-Sn binary system were modified. The calculated phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the Au-Sn binary system are in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, by combining the updated calculations of the Au-Sn binary system in this work with the previous assessments of the Au-Bi, Au-Zn, Au-Ni, Sn-Bi, Sn-Zn and Sn-Ni binary systems, thermodynamic modeling of the Au-Sn-X (X = Bi, Zn, Ni) ternary systems was conducted using the CALPHAD method. The liquidus projections, isothermal sections and vertical sections of the Au-Sn-X (X = Bi, Zn, Ni) ternary systems were calculated, which are in good agreement with the reported experimental data. The reasonable thermodynamic parameters of the Au-Sn-X (X = Bi, Zn, Ni) ternary systems were obtained in this work, which would provide a good foundation for further establishing a compatible thermodynamic database of multi-component Au-Sn-based alloy systems to design novel lead-free solders.
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.
