Abstract
The phase composition of electrochemically obtained AgIn alloy coatings electrodeposited at different conditions was determined With the increase in the current density both indium content and heterogeneity of the deposited layers increase The amount of the indiumricher phase increase as well Before the thermal treatment the phases Ag Ag3In and In4Ag9 are observed in coatings with spatiotemporal structures As a result of heating the new phase Ag4In appears at temperatures above 500 °C and indium is oxidized up to In2O3 from the oxygen in the heating chamber Up to 500 °C the spatiotemporal structures are still visible Probably they consist of both Agrich αphase and one of the phases of the alloy system with small indium content such as Ag4In or Ag3In
