N2 - The effect of Ag additions to the four-phase, was studied experimental and thermodynamically using Zn22 mass%Al2 mass%Cu base alloys with four Ag contents from 0 to about 4 mass% Ag. SEM and XRD results indicated the presence of the ¸ A phase decreased as the Ag content increased for the aged alloys which can be attributed to the stabilization of the ¾ phase because of its increase in Ag content which is in agreement with Thermo-Calc results. The Ag addition also promoted a slowest decrease in hardness in the aging curves at 200°C which can be attributed to the slowest diffusion process for the quaternary alloy.
