Liquidus and solidus curves of the β-AuCd phase were determined byDTAmeasurements. β-AuCd has a congruent melting point of 629.5°C at 47 at Cd with no signs of other minima or maxima in the liquidus curve between 43 and 51 at Cd. Liquid and solid Au−Cd alloys were investigated by theemfmethod between 40 and 90 at Cd and 653–973 K. A consistent set of integral thermodynamic data for liquid and for solid alloys of the entire Au−Cd system were calculated at 1000 and at 700K, resp., using values taken from the literature. Partial molar entropies of Cd of solid β-AuCd and of liquid alloys in the same concentration range were compared and discussed with respect to ordering phenomena in solid and liqu
