Thermodynamics of liquid metals and alloys. Tutorial

The textbook sets out issues related to the thermodynamic description of single, two- and three-component metal systems in a liquid state. The main methods of experimental study of the thermodynamic properties of liquid alloys are presented. The structure and thermodynamic properties of individual liquid metals are considered. The link between the phase diagram and the thermodynamic properties in the liquid state of double metal systems is discussed. Special attention is paid to systems with the formation of intermetallic compounds, their structure and properties in the liquid phase. The methods of analytical representation of the concentration dependence of thermodynamic functions in double liquid metal systems are considered. The most common methods for calculating the thermodynamic properties of liquid triple metal systems based on the data on boundary double systems are described. The training manual is intended for students of higher educational institutions, students studying on the master"s program Materials science for nanomaterials and components of electronic equipment Directions of training masters Technical Physics. It can also be used in teaching students to prepare the preparation of Materials and Technology of Materials, Metallurgy, in advanced training systems, in institutions of additional vocational education
