Abstract
The aim this work was the reinvestigation of phase equilibria in Bi-Te system. The as-cast and long-time equilibrated alloys of Bi-Te binary system were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) methods. The primary solidified phases were identified for as-cast samples. The existence of the four intermetallic phases: Bi2Te3, BiTe, Bi2Te, Bi7Te3 was confirmed. Three of them melt incongruently in peritectic reactions. The model parameters of all phases in this system were assessed by optimization using available data by Calphad method. The stabilisation of these phases in other ternary systems was discussed taking into consideration its future application in thermodynamic description of Ag-Bi-Te ternary system.
