Age-hardenability and related microstructural changes during and after phase transformation in an Au-Ag-Cu-based dental alloy
The aim of this study was to clarify how the microstructural changes during and after phase transformation determine the age-hardenability of an Au-Ag-Cu-based dental alloy. The rapid increase in hardness in the initial stage was the result of rapid atomic diffusion by spinodal decomposition into me...
