Au – Pb (Gold – Lead)

Giorgio Brunoldi

Literature Data

The latest assessment of the Au-Pb system is by [1984Oka, 1987Oka] who used the literature data available from different authors up to 1984. [1992Mic] measured enthalpy of formation of Au-Pb alloys by drop calorimetry at 422, 598, 850°C.Using own and literature data [1992Mic] calculated liquidus phase boundary in Au-rich region. The obtained results are not in agreement with the [1984Oka, 1987Oka] assessment, what was also outlined in [1993Oka].
