Abstract
Sound velocity has been measured in the liquid Bismuth-Zinc system as a function of temperature and composition to investigate the propagati on of ultrasonic waves in a metallic liquid alloy with a miscibility g ap. The critical point determined from the dependence on temperature o f the sound velocity is 580+/-3-degrees-C at 17.8+/-0.3 at.% Bi. Above the critical point, the sound velocity shows a temperature dependence associated with critical concentration fluctuations.
