Ag-Cu eutectic alloy has a characteristic Property of that fusion temp of_____________?

Correct answer: B. The resultant alloy is lesser

  • A. The resultant alloy is greater
  • B. The resultant alloy is lesser
  • C. The resultant alloy varies according to the content of Ag of Cu
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

A eutectic composition melts at a lower temperature than either pure component or most non-eutectic mixtures, which is why eutectic alloys are useful for easier fusion. In the Ag-Cu system, the eutectic alloy therefore has a lower fusion temperature.
