  2. Mixing behaviour of liquid binary alloys: energetic & structural factors • Observable indicators: • Phase diagrams. • Empirical factors– physical, chemical & structural properties of alloy constituents (liquid metals), melting points, volume, first shell coordination, radius size, valence difference, electronegativity difference... • Thermodynamic functions– heat capacity, enthalpy, activity, excess Gibbs energy. • Microscopic functions– concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit & CSRO (Warren-Cowley short range order) parameter.

  3. What kind of input data are necessary for modelling? 1.Thermodynamic data on mixing: heat capacity; enthalpy; entropy; Gibbs energies (integral & excess). partial quantities: activities (or chem. potentials). 2. Phase diagram information type of alloy system: segregating or compound forming 3.Thermophysical data: molar volume, surface tension, viscosity of pure components. 4. Structural data: coordination number; neutron diffraction data to be transformed into the microscopic functions 5.

  25. Viscosity Viscosity()of liquid alloys-the atomic level structure and interactions. The composition dependenceofof liquid alloys in respect to the linear low (ideal mixture): a linear variation (simple liquids, e.g.Ag-Au, Sn-Pb, Bi-Pb) positive deviations (compound forming alloys, H <<0) negativedeviations (segregating alloys, H >>0). Sometimes the viscosity of binary liquid alloys exhibits “strange” behaviour (Bi-Ga, Bi-Cu, Ga-Hg..), i.e. the same behaviour as their thermodynamic functions (according to the theory should be opposite!)

  26. In the framework of the QLT the viscosity, , is related to theSCC(0)and diffusionby: For a thermodynamically ideal mixture,SCC(0)=SCC(0,id)=c(1-c) previous equ. becomes: with and for the viscosity of pure components (Stokes-Einstein) Assuming 1 = 2 = =1, it is obtainedthe Stokes-Einstein type relation for diffusion and viscosity:

  27. Recently,we proposed the following viscosity equation: where miand i (i=A,B) are parameters that can be calculated from the experimental data.
