Abstract
Fabrication methods of lead–lithium (Pb–Li) alloys and tin–lithium (Sn–Li) alloys were studied. The alloys at various Li concentration were fabricated by the melting and mixing of the small metal grains of Li, Pb and Sn. The concentration of Li in the fabricated alloy was evaluated by two methods, i.e. chemical analysis by ICP-AES and the evaluation of the melting point of the alloys with the phase diagram. The concentration of Li determined by these two methods agreed well each other. The Li concentration of the fabricated alloys was lower than that expected from the mass of the Li metal grains used. The depletion of Li metal was caused by the oxidation of Li with the oxides on the pure Pb or Sn grains in the fabrication process. The concentration of Li in the fabricated alloy was successfully adjusted by the addition of the Li alloy having different Li concentration.
