2. Applications to different families of zinc alloys
Only ZP2, ZP3, ZP5 and ZP27
2.1 ZP2, ZP3 and ZP5 alloys
ZP2, ZP3 and ZP5 alloys show different phase transformations during equilibrium cooling:
-
A eutectic reaction:
This reaction occurs at 380°C (378 to 382°C depending on the author);
-
A eutectoid reaction:
