In this paper, 10 groups of ternary Ag–Sn–Zn diffusion couples were prepared under 873, 973 and 1073 K within the fcc single-phase region. The element distribution across the diffusional interface was measured by EPMA, and a high-throughput determination of atomic mobilities in Ag-rich fcc Ag–Sn–Zn alloys was performed by using HitDIC (High-Throughput Determination of Interdiffusion Coefficients, https://hitdic.com/ ) software in the framework of the numerical inverse method. A self-consistent set of atomic mobility parameters was obtained. Reliability of the evaluated atomic mobility parameters were further verified by reasonably reproducing the experimental composition profiles. Insight into the composition- and temperature-dependence of various diffusion properties in fcc Ag–Sn–Zn alloy were subsequently retrieved and discussed. Furthermore, through the related Arrhenius information, the diffusion frequency factors and diffusion activity energies within the corresponding temperature and the composition range were obtained.
