Thermodynamic reevaluation of the Cu-Zn system by electromotive force measurements in the zinc-rich part

In this work, the Cu-Zn system was explored for alloys in the zinc-rich part above 90 at.% zinc between 643 and 843 K by electromotive force measurements. Modeling was then done and was based on the generally well-accepted description of the binary system as in the last assessment proposed by Kowalski and Spencer [1993Kow] taking into account recent thermodynamic data available in literature. The resulting optimized coefficients are in good agreement with experimental observations.
