In this work, the reactions that occur in the quaternary system Cu-Al-Ag-Mn, in the Cu-rich region and at the beginning of the eutectoid transition occurrence was studied in Cu- 9wt.%Al alloys with additions of 3, 4 and 5 wt.%Ag and 4, 6 and 8 wt.%Mn using optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Xray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion X-ray analysis (EDX), electrical resistivity changes measurements with temperature and microhardness changes measurements with temperature and time. Results obtained for stable transitions showed that the reactions sequence is (α2→α), β1→ β-(T7-Cu2MnAl) e T3-(Cu3Mn2Al) → β-(T7-Cu2MnAl). Additions of Mn increase the β phase region and Ag additions promote the precipitation of an Ag-rich phase from the Cu-rich matrix. The presence of Mn seems to change the precipitates adherence to the matrix. For metastable transitions the observed reactions was: α phase precipitation from the martensitic phase, β’→β1(DO3) transition and partial decomposition of the β1 phase on the α, γ and T3 phases, β1(DO3)→β2(B2) and β2(B2)→β(A2) transitions. For alloys with Ag additions other two reactions were observed, Ag-rich phase precipitation and dissolution. Results obtained from isothermal ageing of the alloys and β phase formation non-isothermal kinetics showed that there is a solubility maximum for Ag and that it is about 6wt.%Mn. Results obtained for aged alloys in the considered time and temperature range showed the stabilization of the martensitic phase and the consumption of the α phase as the dominant reaction for the Cu- 9%Al-4%Mn alloy. For the rest of studied alloys the dominant reaction is α phase precipitation with growing of bainitic plates due to interface diffusion along grain boundaries between the martensitic and the bainitic phase. In the Cu-9%Al-4%Mn alloy Ag dissolution into the matrix increases the Mn relative fraction and...
