Abstract

The vapor pressures of zinc over solid alpha brasses were determined for six alloys ranging in composition from approximately 5 to 30 pct zinc. The absorption spectra method was utilized for obtaining the vapor pressure data. Activities and activity coefficients are given for zinc for the six alloys investigated.
