Cu-Sn (Copper-Tin)
N. Saunders and A.P. Miodownik
The assessed Cu-Sn phase diagram is taken from [44Ray]. The system is
characterized by a series of peritectic reactions and the formation of a
number of ordered, intermetallic phases.
Both the fcc a phase and the bcc b phase dissolve substantial quantities of Sn.
The g phase also has a wide range of solubility and is formed by ordering of
the b phase. The solid solubility of Cu in Sn at the eutectic temperature is
reported to be 0.01 at.% Cu [39Hom].
The z phase is hexagonal and is a superstructure based on the z-AgZn prototype
[75Bra]. The exact structure of the e phase is uncertain, but is a large
superstructure based on a cph unit cell [Pearson]. The h phase undergoes an
ordering change between 186 and 189 C. At low temperatures, its structure can
be regarded as a long-period superlattice (LPS) based on the NiAs-type
structure and on heating it transforms to the conventional NiAs structure [
73Gan].
Three types of martensite are formed on quenching from the high-temperature b
and g phases-b1‚, b1‚‚, and g1‚. b1‚ martensite has an ordered orthorhombic
structure and is found between 13 and 13.8 at.% Sn. During the quench, the
high-temperature b phase orders to the D03 structure before the martensite
transformation, and therefore, b1‚ inherits this order. b1‚‚ martensite, found
between 13.8 and 15 at.% Sn, is a lamellar composite of orthorhombic b1‚ and
hexagonal g1‚, with a composition that depends on orthorhombic distortion. g1‚
martensite, formed between 15 and 15.8 at.% Sn, is a twinned cph structure
with inherited order from the D03 parent phase. It is possible to extend the
range of b1‚ martensite to 11.8 at.% Sn by rapid quenching from the melt [
70Van].
Between 16 and ~25 at.% Sn, the martensite start temperature is reduced to the
point where g phase does not transform and is retained. The g1‚ martensite is,
however, observed again at ~25 at.% Sn. This makes the Cu-Sn system unique in
that the g1‚ martensite is observed in two composition ranges. Another
martensite, b› with an ordered, faulted orthorhombic structure, has also been
reported [72Ken]. This martensite is observed between 13 and 16.2 at.% Sn when
quenched from above some minimum temperature and does not form part of the b1‚-
b1‚‚ -g1‚ sequence. The g1‚ martensite, at ~15 to 16 at.% Sn, exhibits
thermoelastic behavior [75Miu].
The w and a› phases can form in quenched or aged b and g alloys. The w phase
has been reported in alloys quenched from the g phase [81Zak] and is usually
observed as a fine-scale precipitation within the matrix g phase. The w phase
is more commonly associated with Ti- and Zr-based alloys.
A metastable phase, a›, has been observed in both quenched and aged b and g
phase alloys [73Van]. [67Deb] suggested that this phase might also be
described as a very highly faulted fcc structure with a stacking fault density
of ~0.5.
[34Bug] observed an intermediate phase on tempering a quenched g phase alloy
whose structure they identified as either tetragonal or hexagonal, isomorphous
with the z-AgZn structure. [57Bag] confirmed that the diffraction pattern was
more consistent with that of the hexagonal structure and therefore closely
related to the equilibrium phase z.
The z phase has been observed on annealing quenched 16.5 at.% Sn g phase
alloys at 300 C [67Deb]. It co-existed with the metastable a› phase and the
equilibrium d and a phases before final decomposition to the equilibrium two-
phase structure of (a + e). The z or d phases appeared either separately or
together, depending on specimen size and its previous thermal and mechanical
history [67Deb].
A series of metastable structures has been reported on vapor quenching of
alloys of 11.5 and 19.5 at.% Sn; the occurrence of the various phases is
controlled by the composition and substrate temperature [87Sau]. Below 200 C,
a cph phase, denoted a›, and a bcc phase, g›, were observed. The a› phase,
observed at ~11.5 at.% Sn is probably equivalent to the phase found in earlier
studies of quenched b and g phase alloys [73Van]. On deposition at room
temperature, only cph lines were observed. However, depositing at ~130 C
produced a pattern containing both fcc and cph lines. The bcc g› phase
observed at 19.5 at.% Sn was considered [87Sau] to be isomorphous with the
more usual g-brass structures observed in Cu-Al and Cu-Zn alloys [Pearson1].
At ~200 and ~300 C, 19.5 at.% Sn alloys contained primarily the z phase,
whereas 11.5 at.% Sn alloys contained a mixture of z an d supersaturated a.
Amorphous phases have been observed on vapor codeposition at <77 K in a 90 at.%
Sn alloy [54Buc], at 77 K in a 60 at.% Sn alloy [68Cho], and between ~30 to
80 at.% Sn at 4.2 K [83Hau]. A metastable phase has been reported on annealing
of thin layered structures produced by the sequential vapor deposition of pure
Cu and Sn [79She].
