Differential calorimetric analysis of the binary system Sb–Zn

Experimental Investigation of the Bi-Sb-Zn System: Study of the Isoplethic Sections Bi-SbZn, Bi-Sb3Zn4 and Bi-Sb2Zn3

“…[3] The Sb-Zn system is very complex; it has been the subject of several studies. [5,6] It is mainly characterized by the presence of three intermediate compounds SbZn, Sb 3 Zn 4 and Sb 2 Zn 3 . The experimental study of the system Sb-Zn by differential calorimetry made it possible to plot the whole phase diagram.…”

Identification of segregation phase on a batch hot‐dip‐coated Zn/0.1Al/0.2Sb surface

“…Because antimony is also of the hcp structure, a number of Sb-Zn congruent melting compounds exist in the Sb-Zn system. In the Sb-Zn system, 51,52 there appears at least three types of congruent melting compounds: SbZn, Sb 3 Zn 4 and Sb 2 Zn 3 , not including all types of allotropic forms, of which -Sb 2 Zn 3 is the metastable phase at ambient temperature due to its being transformed into stable Sb 3 Zn 4 and zinc at 407°C by eutectoid decomposition, as shown in Fig. 4.…”

“…4. 49,50,52,53 According to the literature, a small quantity (about 0.1-0.3%) of aluminium added to the bath is mainly taken up to form the inhibition layer, and the remaining aluminium exists with the formation of zinc solid solution and does not affect the whole coating solidification. 2,5,26,54 The role of aluminium will be neglected in present discussion.…”

Experimental Investigation of the Zn-Al-Sb System at 450 °C

“…It needs to be mentioned that there exist high-temperature polymorphic transformations for the Sb 3 Zn 4 and Sb 2 Zn 3 phases, [29] which were confirmed by Li et al [24] with a high-temperature XRD determination. Recently, Adjadj et al [30] proposed a new high-temperature phase Sb 3 Zn 4 with a congruent melting and quantitatively determined the homogeneity range of the compound Sb 3 Zn 4 .…”
