Activity Measurement of Liquid Sn-Ag-Bi Alloys by Fused Salt EMF Method

Abstract:

Activity of tin in liquid Sn-Ag-Bi alloys was derived by EMF measurement of galvanic cell with fused salts electrolyte in the temperature range of 700 to 900K in the whole composition range. Activity of tin at 900K shows very small positive deviation from Raoult’s low for Sn-Bi alloys. Activity of ternary alloys was measured along three pseudo binary systems of Sn-(Ag,Bi) (where xAg/xBi =1/3,1/1 and 3/1). Its concentration dependence is very complex. From the iso-activity curves in the ternary system excess free energy of mixing is derived using Darken’s method for Gibbs-Duhem equation
