Phase equilibria of the system Ti-Ni-Sn have been determined for the isothermal section at 950 °C based on X-ray powder diffraction (XPD) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) of about 60 ternary alloys in as cast and annealed state. The section is characterized by the formation of four ternary compounds labelled τ

For a thermodynamic CALPHAD assessment of the ternary diagram we relied on the binary boundary systems as modelled in the literature. As thermodynamic data in the ternary system were only available in the literature for the compounds TiNi

2Sn and TiNiSn, heat of formation data were supplied by our density functional theory (DFT) calculations for Ti
