The Tendency of Liquid Separations in Molten Cd–X Alloys

Abstract

The usual emf measurements with a potentiometer were performed in the temperature range of 450 to 310°C to verify whether an expected tendency of liquid separation exists in the molten Cd–X alloys.As expected, the unusual temperature dependence of the emf was observed over the limited composition ranges for all three alloy systems, lying on the high cadmium side for the molten Cd–Pb and the Cd–Sn alloys but, conversely, on the low cadmium side for the molten Cd–Bi alloys.
