Advanced tarnish-resistant silver alloys using Cu, Al, Zn, and Be: composition optimization and surface passivation
A novel class of tarnish-resistant silver alloys containing Cu, Al, Zn, and Be was developed. While Cu is a conventional alloying element in sterling silver (Ag-7.5 wt. %Cu), the addition of Al, Zn, and Be was aimed at forming stable surface oxides to inhibit Ag₂S formation that tarnishes silver all...
