When examining the alloy of several works Adam Van Vianen, one founders Dutch Kwabstijl, with X-ray fluorescence (XRF), a more elevated silver and lower bismuth percentage than commonly found in his contemporaries was detected alloy. We hypothesize that Vianen used an high as it is malleable, allowing him to achieve extreme deformation without formation cracks. Recipes would have been widely at...

Titanium (Ti) is employed as a biomaterial because of its superior biocompatibility and favorable mechanical properties that can be changed with the addition alloying elements, such zirconium molybdenum. Silver an element recognized for antibacterial action, which improve strength decrease Young’s modulus Ti. This work studies effect silver (1 3 wt%) on crystalline structure, microstructure, Vi...

There has been major interest in Lead-free soldering within the electronics assembly industry for the last several years, and this will continue with the agreement on the language and implementation dates of the WEEE/ROHS legislation in the EU. This paper will focus on several topics critical to the implementation of lead-free soldering. These topics include the impact of Tin-silver-copper as t...

Gold-silver alloy nanocages with controllable pores on the surface have been synthesized via galvanic replacement reaction between truncated Ag nanocubes and aqueous HAuCl4. Unlike in the previous studies, the initiation of replacement reaction started in a controllable way, simultaneously from eight corners of the truncated Ag nanocubes where {111} facets were exposed. The formation of cubic n...
