Literature Data

The part Ag-Al-Ag₂Zn₃ of the system has been studied by [1930Uen] using thermal analysis and optical microscopy. The author did not distinguish the Al rich ε phase from the β phase. [1932Ray] studied 9 binary and 11 ternary Ag-Al-Zn alloys with more than 75 mass% Ag and reported temperatures of beginning of solidification and phases observed after solidification. The part below 50 mass% Ag was investigated accurately by [1940Geb] using thermal analysis, metallography and for few alloys X-ray diffraction. The Zn rich (≥50 mass%) part of the liquidus surface and five vertical sections at constant Zn contents of 90, 85, 80, 70 or 60 mass% are given.
