Study on Microstructure and Corrosion Behavior of Ag-Cu-Zn-Ni Alloys

Abstract: Potentiodynamic electrochemical tests and surface analysis technics, such as scanning electronic microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), were applied to investigate the microstructure and corrosion behavior of Ag-Cu-Zn-Ni alloys in Na2S solution. The results reveal that the α-Ag phase is the main matrix of the studied silver alloys. The second phase of Ag-4Cu-0.3Ni and Ag-3Cu-Zn-0.3Ni/Ag-6Cu-Zn-0.3Ni are respectively CuNi and CuNi(Zn) phases. The second phases o… Show more

“…An alloy based on the Ag-Cu system (composition is reported in Table 1) was identified as matching the requisites. The alloy was also chosen due to its superior corrosion resistance if compared to conventional Ag 925 sterling alloys, specifically against tarnishing [40]. Nickel concentration in the alloy is very low and, after laboratory tests, the release rate of this element was confirmed to be 0.004 µg/cm 2 /week, far below the 0.2 µg/cm 2 /week lower limit imposed by the European standards [41].…”
