Abstract
Temperature dependences of the density of liquid silver-tin melts containing 61.6 and 96.5 wt. % Sn (59.3 and 96.15 at. % Sn) have been determined using gamma-ray attenuation technique over the temperature range from liquidus line to 950 K. The density changes during solid-liquid transition have been directly measured for the first time for eutectic alloy (96.5 wt. % Sn). The temperature and concentration dependences of the thermal properties for Ag-Sn system have been constructed. Kinetics of homogenization of the melts with mean composition of 61.6 wt. % Sn has been investigated in the temperature range from 770 to 950 K. The coefficients of binary diffusion have been derived from these experiments.
