How the tin concentration affects the interactions of intermetallic compounds of the Cu-Sn system with liquid gallium and a gallium-tin eutectic

Interactions in the copper-gallium-tin ternary system are studied. New phase formation involves the step of dissolution of solid copper alloys in a liquid phase. The induction period of tin segregation in an autonomous phase depends on tin concentration in the feed. The formation of solid solution of gallium in tin is suggested.
