THE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY OF MOLTEN AND SOLID THORIUM-MAGNESIUM EUTETIC

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4815512· OSTI ID:4815512
Electrical resistivity properties of polycrystalline 39 wt % thorium-- magnesium eutectic are reported for the solid from room temperature to its melting point at 589 deg C and as a liquid from its melting point to 900 deg C. The electrical resistivity of the eutectic at the melting point was 69.5 microhm- centimeters; it decreased to a value of 64.8 microhm-centimeters at 900 C. Tantalum tubing was used to contain the alloy in the molten state. (auth)
