Equilibrium phase diagrams in the system CuO–PbO–Ag
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2011
Abstract
Silver has played a critical role for the fabrication of metal/high temperature superconductor composites. Phase equilibrium and microstructure in the ternary PbO-CuO-Ag system have been investigated using differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Composition versus temperature diagrams have been established for these systems in air. In the ternary CuO-PbO-Ag system, there is a eutectic reaction CuO + PbO + Ag = L at 750 °C and a composition of 12.04 mol % Ag, 16.35 mol % CuO, and 72.62 mol % PbO. Two immiscible regions near the two binary tie lines PbO-Ag and CuO-Ag were detected. No binary or ternary compound was detected in these systems. SEM and EDS results confirm the presence of two liquid phases and the eutectic point
