Abstract

The contact melting (CM) of Cd + 0.046 at % Na solid solution with indium, bismuth, and tin is studied. The dependence of the contact layer lengths on the duration of Cd + 0.046 at % Na CM with indium with electric current through is obtained. Addition of sodium is found to drastically affect the temperature of contact melting onset in (Cd + 0.046 at % Na)-Me (Me: In, Sn, Bi) systems. An attempt to interpret the results obtained is made.
