Crystal structure and colorimetric behavior of low melting point ternary alloy

Elements of high purity (99.999) were used to prepare the alloy, Bi, Sn, Zn and Cu. Two types alloy Bi – Sn – Zn and Bi – Sn – Cu were prepared by mechanical alloying technique (MA). Annealing at 100˚Cfor 8 hours was applied for the resulting alloys. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning colorimetriy were tested for the two types of alloy before and after annealing. The best results was noticed in the ternary alloythat prepared at 4 hours milling time, and annelid at 100˚C, for 8 hours, under static air. © 2020 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.
