Study of magnesium and MA2-1 alloy sublimation in chambers with cryogenic surfaces

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Apparatus for studying the vaporization of metals and alloys in vacuo down to 4–10−8 torr by a continuous weighing method is described. The vaporization rate of magnesium and MA2-1 alloy in the range 300–500 ° C is measured and the results compared with data on magnesium obtained by other authors. Protective films, preliminary treatment, the heater geometry, and the temperature of the screens surrounding the material are shown to play an important part.
