This paper presents, the Gibss-Thomson Coefficient, solid-liquid interfacial energy and grain boundary energy of solid tin phase in tin-magnesium-bismuth ternary alloy systems, which were calculated by using the equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes obtained in a radial heat-flow system. Chemical analysis of solid Sn was proved with energy dispersive X-Ray analyzer. The thermal conductivity of the eutectic solid and the thermal conductivity ratio of eutectic liquid to the eutectic solid in Sn-1.56Mg-1.00Bi (at %) eutectic alloy at its eutectic melting temperature were measured with a radial heat flow apparatus and a Bridgman-type growth apparatus. The Gibbs-Thomson coefficient, solid-liquid interfacial energy and grain boundary energy of solid Sn in equilibrium with Sn-Mg-Bi eutectic liquid were determined to be (8.4 +/- 0.6) x 10-8 K m, (104.5 +/- 12.5) x 10-3 and (190.3 +/- 24.7) x 10-3 J m-2 respectively from observed grain boundary groove shapes. The calculated results were in good compatibility with the previous works.
