Liquid metals and alloys

It follows that since the addition of metal oxides has such a profound effect on the properties of liquid silicates such as the viscosity, that the Reynolds number of liquid silicates in metal-silicate liquid two-phase systems will influence the boundary layer thickness to a greater extent than in the liquid metals and alloys, mainly because of the higher viscosity of the silicate.

Most water-atomized metal particles (powders) have been observed to follow the log-normal size distribution pattern. Relatively narrow size distributions of both fine and coarse particles may be generated by water atomization. A review of published data for droplet size distributions generated by gas and water atomization of a variety of liquid metals and alloys has been made by Lawley,[4] along with presentations of micrographs of surface morphology and internal microstructure of solidified particles. 

In a special issue (4/2006) of the International Journal of Materials Research (formerly Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde) a number of papers have been collected which have been dedicated to liquid alloys and their properties. A short summary of these, even without any claim to be systematic, highlights some research problems into liquid metals and alloys. 

The electrical double-layer (edl) properties pose a fundamental problem for electrochemistry because the rate and mechanism of electrochemical reactions depend on the structure of the metal-electrolyte interface. The theoretical analysis of edl structures of the solid metal electrodes is more complicated in comparison with that of liquid metal and alloys. One of the reasons is the difference in the properties of the individual faces of the metal and the influence of various defects of the surface [1]. Electrical doublelayer properties of solid polycrystalline cadmium (pc-Cd) electrodes have been studied for several decades. The dependence of these properties on temperature and electrode roughness, and the adsorption of ions and organic molecules on Cd, which were studied in aqueous and organic solvents and described in many works, were reviewed by Trasatti and Lust [2].
