Electrum tarnish by sulfur : a study of an irreversible process

The tarnishing of electrum (40 atom % Ag) at 750°C and a sulfur fugacity of -2.8 to -2.9 1og₁օ atmospheres is heterogenous and irreversible. This is the case even though these conditions are less than 37°C and .4 log₁օ atmospheres above the point at which tarnish is first observed on the electrum....
