Abstract
The thermal behavior of the Cu-10 mass%Al and Cu-10 mass%Al-4 mass%Ag alloys was studied using classical differential thermal analysis (DTA), optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The DTA curves were obtained for annealed and quenched samples. The results indicated that the presence of silver introduces new thermal events, associated to the formation of a silver-rich phase, to the shift of the equilibrium concentration to higher Al contents and to the decomposition of the silver-rich phase in the same temperature range of the b1 phase decomposition.
