Abstract
The short-range order in Ag-Cd alloys containing 5 to 38 at. pct Cd was investigated by liquid metal solution calorimetry and electrical resistivity measurements. The results indicate that the degree of short-range order in slowly cooled specimens was equivalent to equilibrium short-range order at approximately 450 to 500 K. Specimens quenched from various temperatures showed the effects of heat treatment on the degree of short-range order. The energy effects associated with short-range order in the composition range 16 to 38 at. pct Cd were approximately 60 to 90 cal per g-atom. It is concluded from the results that the resistivity in Ag-Cd alloys decreases with increasing degree of short-range order.
