Effect of Ag addition on mechanical properties of zinc-based alloy

The application of Zinc-based alloy in giftware industry instead of tin is interesting since its price is less expensive. However, the use of zinc has some limitations such as mechanical properties. Machining, rolling and soldering are the most common manufacturing process in giftware. Therefore, mo...
