Ag-based alloys have industrial importance in relation to their use as high-temperature solders in jewellery or braze alloys for thermoelectric modules. Good wetting properties and a tarnish-resistance of Ag-Ge and Ag-Cu-Ge alloys together with appropriate mechanical properties make them good candidates for bonding sterling silver (Ag-7.5Cu, in...

The design of processing routes involving the presence of the liquid phase is mainly associated with the knowledge of its surface and transport properties. Despite this need, due to experimental difficulties related to high temperature measurements of metallic melts, for many alloy systems neither thermodynamic nor thermophysical properties...

A new experimental investigation of the Sb-Sn phase diagram has been performed. Special attention was focused on the phase equilibria within SbSn-Sb3Sn4 composition range. Phase equilibria have been investigated by DSC measurements combined with a thorough optical and electronic microscopy examination with a special attention to the SbSn-Sb3Sn4...
