Abstract

The In–Sn system has been redetermined using dta, metallography and X-ray diffraction techniques. It is confirmed that the B and y intermediate 8hases are formed by peritectic reactions, at 141.0° and 222.6°C respectively. β and γ form a eutectic at 47.4 at% Sn and 119°C. The kink in the γ–phase solidus proposed by Heumann and Alpaut is not confirmed.
