Abstract
The quaternary system Au-Pt-Pd-Sn is described with the help of the th ermodynamic software ''Chemsage'' and a specially modelled dataset. Ca lculations on the stability of precipitated phases show good agreement with experimental results from hardness tests and metallography and t hereby provide a better understanding of the observed material propert ies. The use of such modelling provides an efficient tool for faster a nd directer development of precious metal alloys.
