Measurements of Heats of Mixing in Liquid Silver Binary Alloys

Abstract

Using the adiabatic calorimeter, heats of mixing in the binary liquid alloys consisting of silver and aluminum, gallium, indium, thallium, germanium, tin, lead or bismuth were determined at 970°C.The experimental results obtained were discussed in a similar way described in the previous report. It was observed that the data of heats of mixing have intimate relations with phase diagrams, suggesting that the atomic bonding in liquid silver alloys is similar to that of solid.ξ function of silver alloys having secondary solid solutions in solid phase decreases markedly with increasing silver concentration, hence it is considered that interaction energy depends considerably on silver concentrations.
