Abstract
A thermodynamic reassessment of the Co-Sn system was carried out by using the CALPHAD method. The need for a reassessment stemmed from the existence of new measurements of the enthalpy of mixing by Yakymovych et al. (J Chem Thermodyn 74:269–285, 2014. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jct.2014.02.013) and the necessity to remodel some of the intermetallic phases in the system to make the dataset consistent with existing specialized databases, e.g. the database for high temperature lead-free soldering materials. The obtained assessment agrees well with existing experimental phase diagram data and the new thermodynamic data from Yakymovych et al. (2014).
