Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004087972A1] The invention relates to a method of producing a silver-based alloy part. The inventive method consists in using an initial alloy containing silver and at least one silver-soluble metal, at concentrations of between 0.04 and 4 atomic percent, which can form a stable oxide at high temperature. Subsequently, the invention consists in performing the following successive operations comprising: oxygenation of the initial alloy such as to dissolve the oxygen in the silver containing same; partial oxidation of the soluble metal in order to form precipitate particles which prevent the alloy grains from swelling; and total oxidation, on at least one outer layer, of the soluble metal into a stable oxide at high temperature. The invention also relates to a silver-based alloy containing at least one silver-soluble metal which can form a stable oxide at high temperature and which, by means of internal oxidation, hardens same, producing a final grain size of less than 20µm.
