Isoperibolic calorimetry, has been used to determine the partial and integr
al enthalpies of mixing for liquid alloys in the binary systems aluminum (s
ilicon) - boron at 1873 K. Those enthalpies are small exothermic quantities
, which agree with published data. The enthalpies of mixing have also been
calculated from the Delta H-f(298) of the metal borides. The concentration
dependence has been determined for these enthalpies in binary alloys in the
nontransition metal - boron systems.
