Popis: In other studies [1], it has been found that dilute tin alloys containing one of the fast-diffusing solutes Ag, Au and Zn display marked but transitory increases in hardness when quenched from near eutectic temperatures. In this paper, it is shown that an examination of such hardness increases as a function of solute concentration and the equilibrium temperature prior to quenching provides a means of determining the solvus boundaries for the system concerned. Solvus data is derived for Ag, Au and Zn in Sn.
