Precious Metal 92Ag-8SnO2-H02 vs 92Ag-8SnO2 PM-EXT

Precious Metal · 92Ag-8SnO2 temper comparison

92Ag-8SnO2-H02 and 92Ag-8SnO2 PM-EXT are two conditions of the same precious metal grade, 92Ag-8SnO2: H02 (half hard) versus PM-EXT (as-sintered / extruded). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 92Ag-8SnO2-H02 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 200 MPa (29 ksi) against 140 MPa (20.3 ksi) for 92Ag-8SnO2 PM-EXT, about 43% more; tensile strength follows at 275 MPa (39.9 ksi) vs 245 MPa (35.5 ksi). In exchange, 92Ag-8SnO2 PM-EXT is the more ductile: elongation 15% versus 8% for 92Ag-8SnO2-H02, and 92Ag-8SnO2-H02 is harder (74 HB vs 65 HB). 92Ag-8SnO2 PM-EXT runs hotter in service (200°C vs 180°C continuous).
