Mixing enthalpy of liquid Ga–Li–Zn alloys

•Calorimetric measurements of binary Ga–Li system.•Calorimetric measurements of ternary Ga–Li–Zn system.•Integral molar mixing enthalpies of liquid Ga–Li–Zn alloys.

The integral molar mixing enthalpies of liquid Ga–Li–Zn alloys were determined by drop calorimetry and with the use of the Setaram MHTC 96 Line Evo calorimeter.The measurements for this ternary system were taken at four temperatures and six different alloy compositions: at 993 K the (Ga0.90Li0.10)1−xZnx and the (Ga0.75Li0.25)1−xZnx, at 1044 K the (Ga0.60Li0.40)1−xZnx, the (Ga0.50Li0.50)1−xZnx, the (Ga0.40Li0.60)1−xZnx, at 891 K and 1018 K the (Ga0.25Li0.75)1−xZnx. This study has begun the experimental measurements of the Ga–Li–Zn system and shows a comparison of previous literature data for binary Ga–Li system.
