Abstract
Structural, mechanical and electrical properties of selected alloys in ternary Ag-Bi-Zn system are presented in this paper. Chosen alloys were investigated using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), light optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (SEM-EDS), as well as by electrical conductivity and Brinell hardness measurements. Isolines of electrical conductivity and hardness for the entire Ag-Bi-Zn system were calculated using regression models.
Highlights
Recent investigations of high temperature leadfree solder systems in the frame of COST MP0602 project (2007), indicated different silver-based systems as possible new more environmentally friendly substitue materials to be applied in electronics

Summary
Recent investigations of high temperature leadfree solder systems in the frame of COST MP0602 project (2007), indicated different silver-based systems as possible new more environmentally friendly substitue materials to be applied in electronics. Miyazawa and Ariga (2001) presented their results. In order to give a contribution to knowledge and better understanding of the Ag-Bi-Zn system, the results of investigation of structural, mechanical and electrical properties of these potential leadfree, ecological aloys are presented in this paper. Knowledge of these properties is very important for further work with these alloys. Many researchers are examining properties for the different alloys (Soteloa et al, 2014; Vargas-Arista et al, 2014; D’Errico et al, 2013)
