THE SODIUM CHLORIDE-SILVER CHLORIDE ALLOY SYSTEM

Abstract

A miscibility gap exists in solid solutions between NaCl and AgCl. At room temperature the two phase region extends from 10% NaCl to 80% NaCl. The precipitation reaction reaction leads to a change in the appearance of single crystals from complete transparency to a milky white opaqueness. Measurements of room temperature mechanical properties have shown a tremendous (100 fold) increase in strength within the two phase region with a slight increase in the rate of work hardening. The transition in slip mode from the coarse wavy slip of silver chloride to the fine straight slip of sodium chloride is found to occur gradually across the diagram.
