Using an alumina or zirconia crucible with an alumina sinker or a molybdenum sinker coated with zirconium dioxide, the density of liquid iron was determined by the immersed-sinker method over the temperature range of 1800 to 2500 deg K. The density, with respect to temperature, is expressed by the equation D/sub g/cm/sub 3/ =8.523- 8.358 x 10/sup -4/ T deg K. The molar volumes and thermal coefficients of expansion were calculated. Iron, upon melting, was found to expand 3.5%. (auth)
