Abstract: 

This work is dedicated to the influence of the concentration of tellurium on structural hardening mechanisms binary alloys PbTe, in the following amounts by weight Pb0,003wt%Te; Pb0,005wt%Te and Pb0,0062wt%Te that leads to solid solutions supersaturated in Tellurium .The equilibration of supersatured alloys has been followed by different techniques, the hardness, microhardness measurements, optical , electron microscopy and microanalysis EDAX . Two structural states arc considered: as-cast alloys and rehomogeneization. The explored temperatures are 20° and 80°C The aging of lead-tellurium alloys is characterized by a continuous precipitation and discontinuous transformation. As for their overaging they arc concerned by a discontinuous lamellar precipitation localized around the grain boundaries, we note that the maximum hardness obtained docs not exceed 8 Hv whatever the structural state of the alloy studied.
