Viscosity Example: Ag-Au-Cu Alloys

The viscosity thermophysical property data is included with the TCS Noble Metal Alloys Database (TCNOBL) starting with version 3 (TCNOBL3).

One of the most important ternary systems for noble metal alloys is Ag-Au-Cu and this ternary system is used as example for calculation of dynamic viscosity of liquid.
