In this work, characterization of structural and thermal properties of multiple alloys from the ternary Ag-In-Sn system was done. Fifteen different compositions from the ternary system were selected, within which three binary alloys. Microstructure observations were conducted using a combined application of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy while energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and X-ray diffraction were used for composition determination and identification of coexisting phases. Thermal properties including melting temperatures, thermal diffusivities and specific heat capacities were investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry and by means of xenon flash technique in four different temperatures (25, 50, 75 and 100 °C). Thermal conductivities were calculated using the experimentally determined thermal diffusivity, specific heat and density values. Electronic and phonon contributions to the thermal conductivity were calculated based on Wiedemann–Franz law, using the calculated values of thermal conductivities and measured electrical conductivities at the room temperature.

The research presented in this paper was done with the financial support of the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovations of the Republic of Serbia, with the funding of the scientific research work at the University of Belgrade, Technical Faculty in Bor, according to the contract with number 451-03-65/2024-03/200131.
