Abstract:
Experimental data on the activity of components in concentrated (nondilute) liquid metallic alloys must be approximated by characterizing the alloy's thermodynamic properties on the basis of logγ/(1 - x 2) rather than logγ. Here γ and x are, respectively, the activity coefficient and molar fraction of the component in the alloy. In that case, the error in calculating the alloy's integral thermodynamic characteristics-the mixing energy, the regular function-is reduced. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.
