The Ga-Ni-Sn (gallium-nickel-tin) system

The Ga-Ni-Sn (gallium-nickel-tin) system were first critically assessed by Nash to develop into phase diagrams. The three binary systems Ga-Ni, Ga-Sn, and Ni-Sn have 10 binary intermediate phases. Four ternary intermediate phases have been reported to exist in the Ga-Ni-Sn ternary systems. The Ga-Ni-Sn system were prepared by melting 99.9 mass% pure component elements in evacuated and sealed quartz tubes, homogenized at 800°C. X -ray diffraction was used for phase identification, phase analysis, and phase boundary delineation. The phase equilibria established in the Ga-Ni-Sn system at 650°C shows the existence of several three-phase equilibrium regions.
