THERMODYNAMIC AND STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION OF THE Ag-In-Sb SYSTEM

摘要

The Ag-In-Sb ternary system presents one of the possible lead-free solder candidates. Therefore, the results of thermodynamic study of the alloys in the Ag-In-Sb alloys, obtained using general solution mode', are presented in the paper. Obtained data for partial and integral molar thermodynamic quantities in the temperature interval 1000-1200K are given. The characterization of these alloys have been done using DTA, XRD, SEM and optic microscopy, which enabled the construction of the Ag-In-Sb phase diagram in the concentration range up to 60 wt. percent Ag.
