THE LIQUID RANGE OF METALS AND SOME OF THEIR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AT HIGH TEMPERATURES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4840049
The liquid range of metals is outlined. The critical properties and the liquid range of mercury, the only metal so far investigated experimentally, are discussed. Critical temperatures, vapor pressures and critical pressures, liquid range diagrams of typical metals, relationship between the density temperature coefficients and critical temperatures of metals, viscosity of liquid metals, empirical relationship between the activation energy of viscosity and the melting point of the metal, the self-diffusion coefficient of liquid metals, electrical conductivities of liquid metals, chemistry of metals at high temperatures, and new electrical heating methods are discussed(M.C.G.)
