Abstract

The investigation reported here was undertaken to study the beneficial influence of indium on the internal oxidation behaviour of silver-tin alloys in the context of electrical contact material development. Five compositions of varying indium content, namely Ag-6Sn-xIn (x=2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 wt%) were prepared and internally oxidized at different temperatures and oxygen pressure. The kinetics of internal oxidation was studied and an attempt made to correlate the same with microstructure.
