2.
If there are three types of atoms forming the mixture, such as iron, nickel and chromium, then it is called a " ternary alloy ."
3.
"' Indium gallium arsenide "'( InGaAs ) ( alternatively gallium indium arsenide ) is a ternary alloy ( chemical compound ) of indium, gallium and arsenic.
4.
In this respect, all of the various forms of an alloy containing only two constituents, like iron and carbon, is called a " binary system, " while all of the alloy combinations possible with a ternary alloy, such as alloys of iron, carbon and chromium, is called a " ternary system ".
5.
The mechanical properties of NiP ( ENP ) deposits can be further enhanced not only by the co-deposition of inert particles such as teflon, silicon carbide or boron nitride but also by alloying with a third element, forming a ternary alloy of NiPX, where X can be copper, tungsten, molybdenum or tin depending on the particular formulation.
