Özet

Ag-In intermetallic alloys were produced by using vacuum arc furnace. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDX) were used to determine the thermal properties and chemical composition of the phases respectively. Microhardness values of Ag-In intermetallics were calculated with Vickers hardness measurement method. According to the experimental results, Ag-34 wt%In intermetallic system generated the best results of energy saving and storage compared to other intermetallic systems. Also from the microhardness results, it was observed that intermetallic alloys were harder than pure silver and Ag-26 wt% In system had the highest microhardness value with 143.45 kg/mm2.
