Abstract

The temperature and concentration dependences of the surface tension of lithium alloys based on lead are experimentally determined for the first time in a field of compositions with up to 20 at % lithium in lead in the temperature range from the liquidus up to 700 K. The isotherm of surface tension of the studied alloys in the range of compositions with ~10 at % Li in lead contains a minimum, as does the adsorption isotherm of lithium in the sub-eutectic area of PbLi compounds.
