| Summary |
"An apparatus has been designed and constructed that would continuously record the weight loss of a sample in a flowing inert atmosphere, at a constant temperature. A technique has been developed to determine the phase boundaries of a binary phase diagram. Alloys of the magnesium-nickel, cadmium-antimony, copper-cadmium, copper-zinc, and magnesium-zirconium systems were subjected to investigation to verify the operation and resolve a number of limitations of the equipment. These investigations disclosed that the apparatus gave the best results with alloys having vapor pressures in the range between 1 and 35 millimeters of mercury"--Abstract, leaf 2. |
