Phase equilibria investigation and characterization of the Au-In-Sb system

Abstract

The Au-In-Sb system belongs to the group of potential candidates for lead-free solder materials. The results of phase equilibria investigation and characterization of the alloys in the Au-In-Sb section are presented in this paper. The investigations were performed using different experimental methods - thermal analysis, optical microscopy and SEM-EDX, hardness and electrical conductivity measurements, and also, using ThermoCalc software based on adequate thermodynamic calculation. .
