DEMIXING LIQUID ALLOYS

Specific features of thermodynamic and atomic transport properties of demixing liquid binary alloys are presented. After discussing the expe rimental methods, the use of the thermodynamic properties in the calcu lation of phase equilibria is emphasized by reference to Bi-Ga and Al- Si-Pb. The selfassociation model to describe the thermodynamic propert ies of binary liquid demixing alloys is briefly outlined. The correlat ion of interdiffusion and viscosity is also discussed. The intended ap plication of these alloys for advanced bearing material is presented.
