The Al-AgMg section of the system was studied by Otani [33Ota] using thermal analysis, metallography and electrical resistance measurements on twenty alloys. The materials used were of 99.9 (Ag), 99.8 (Al) and 99.8 (Mg) mass% purity. [33Ota] proposed the section to be a pseudobinary system, which was also mentioned by [59Zam] and [61Fri]. Another group [57Kus], however, disputed this on the basis of X-ray diffraction studies of the precipitates occurring in a Al-1.98 mole% AgMg and a Al-2.22 mole% AgMg alloy.
