Abstract
The influence of a bismuth impurity on the properties of solid and liquid alloys in the concentration range that obeys Henry’s law is considered. The structural and physicochemical properties, specifically, the density and the surface tension, of real melts are studied on relatively pure metals. The changes in the properties of the melts are estimated from changes in the temperature dependences of the density and the surface tension upon heating and cooling and in the concentration dependences of these parameters at a constant temperature. These dependences exhibit a correlation between the volume and surface properties of the melts: the density and the surface tension increase or decrease simultaneously. The introduction of bismuth in the nickel melt is accompanied by the appearance of a relatively strong compression effect (i.e., a decrease in the melt volume). At a certain bismuth content in the melt, the compression effect weakens because of the appearance of an excess phase or its associates and melt separation.
