Database of Pb - free soldering materials, surface tension and density, experiment vs. Modeling

Experimental studies of surface tension and density by the maximum bubble pressure method and dilatometric technique were undertaken and the accumulated data for liquid pure components, binary, ternary and multicomponent alloys were used to create the SURDAT data base for Pb-free soldering materials. The data base enabled, also to compare the experimental results with those obtained by the Butler’s model and with the existing literature data. This comparison has been extended by including the experimental data of Sn-Ag-Cu-Sb alloys.

Calorimetric Measurements of Liquid Al-Zn Alloys

ABSTRACT The integral molar enthalpies of mixing were determined by the drop calorimetric method for binary AL-Zn liquid solutions and compared with the Miedema model as well as the earlier experimental data. The measurements were conducted at two temperatures: 957 K and 1001 K (684 °C and 728 °C), in the entire concentration range. Based on the experimental calorimetric data of this study as well as those available in the literature and the results of the activity studies, the interaction parameters of the Redlich-Kister equation for the liquid Al-Zn phase were worked out with the use of the least square method. The partial and integral Gibbs energies, entropies and enthalpies were calculated and presented in tables and figures. Additionally, the concentration-concentration partial structure factors for the ideal and real Al-Zn solutions were calculated and graphically presented.
