Propiedades mecánicas y eléctricas de las aleaciones ternarias de Ag-Ge-In

Mechanical (Brinell hardness test) and electrical properties of some selected ternary Ag-Ge-In alloys have been investigated in this study. By using obtained results for properties and ANOVA analysis it is sug­gested mathematical model for calculation properties for every composition of alloys. Microstructures of alloys have been carried out by using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phases presented in microstructures have been detected by x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and compositions by energy disper­sive spectrometry (EDS). Experimentally determined results are compared with calculated data. Calculation of isothermal section at 25 °C was carried out by using optimized thermodynamic parameters for the constitutive binary systems. Good overall agreement between experimental and calculated values was obtained.
