Phase equilibria in ternary Cd-Sb-Zn system

Both the authorʹs and literature data on phase equilibria in ternary Cd-Sb-Zn alloys were carefully analyzed and, selected and thermodynamic functions of ternary phases were optimised by TER-GSS. Phase equilibria calculations were performed by ThermoCalc resulting in invariant reactionʹs parameters, liquidus surface and a number of vertical and isothermal sections of the system under investigation. Metastable tendency was explained by using of Cd-Sb system as an example.
