Volumetric properties of near-eutectic liquid Li–Pb alloys

Аннотация

The density and the thermal expansion of liquid lithium–lead alloys with Pb content of 83.0 and 84.3 at. % was measured using gamma-ray attenuation technique over the temperature range from liquidus to 1000 K. The density change during solid–liquid phase transition was directly measured for the first time for Li15.7Pb84.3 alloy. A comparison of the obtained results with literature data has been carried out.
