Abstract
The ternary In¿Pd¿Sn phase diagram was investigated in the composition range up to approximately 60 at.% Pd which includes the phase relations most relevant for lead-free soldering. The investigation included X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ternary equilibrium phase relations were studied for three isothermal sections at 200, 500, and 700 ¿C, respectively, and the ternary solubilities of several binary compounds were determined for 500 and 700 ¿C using quantitative SEM. No ternary compound was found to exist in the investigated part of the system, but some of the binary phases show a considerable solid solubility in the ternary system, including most probably a continuous solid solution between ¿Pd2 and Pd2Sn.
