DSC Investigation and Thermodynamic Modeling of the Al–Sb–Sn System

Abstract

The Al–Sb–Sn ternary system was studied by combining experimental measurement and thermodynamic modeling. The three vertical cross-sections of Al–SnSb, Sn–AlSb, and Sb–AlSn were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Based on the Calculation of Phase Diagram (CALPHAD) method, the thermodynamic modeling of the Al–Sb–Sn ternary system was carried out based on the evaluated experimental data by FactSage. A set of thermodynamic model parameters consistent with the experimental data was obtained.
