Abstract
The ternary Sb-Sn-Zn system is important for two reasons: the first one is that antimony-tin-zinc alloys are promising lead-free solders, the second one is, that zinc antimonides show thermoelectric properties. Based on available literature information, the Sb-Sn-Zn system was thermodynamically described using the Calphad approach. A good agreement between calculation and experimental information was found.
