ternary alloy

Dots may also be made from ternary alloys such as cadmium selenide sulfide.

If there are three types of atoms forming the mixture, such as iron, nickel and chromium, then it is called a ternary alloy.

Metallic glasses based on the Mg-Zn-Ca ternary alloy system only consist of the elements which already exist inside the human body.

The promoter changes the mixture from a binary alloy to a ternary alloy, which can lead to different quenching and leaching properties during activation.

After quenching a ternary alloy of aluminium, copper, and magnesium, Wilm discovered that the alloy increased in hardness when left to age at room temperature.

Electroless nickel is a broad term that incorporates a diverse mix of technology ranging from nickel boron and ternary alloys to highly functional composites.

The term melchior sometimes refers not only to the copper-nickel alloys, but also ternary alloys of copper with nickel and zinc ("nickel silver") and even a silvered brass.

In this respect, all of the various forms of an alloy containing only two constituents, like iron and carbon, is called a binary system, while all of the alloy combinations possible with a ternary alloy, such as alloys of iron, carbon and chromium, is called a ternary system.
