Magnesium Binary Eutectic Alloys - Melting Points
Mg - Magnesium - binary eutectic alloys and melting points.
The melting point of an alloy of two (binary) or more metals depends on the relative proportions of the ingredients.
- an eutectic mixture is the mixture where the melting point is as low as possible
Binary eutectic Magnesium - Mg - alloys, with composition and melting points are indicated below:
| Alloy Component | Weight of Alloy Component (%) | Melting Point | |
|---|---|---|---|
| K | oF | ||
| Ni - Nickel | 23 | 780 | 945 |
| Pr - Praseodymium | 23 | 858 | 1085 |
| Pu - Plutonium | 63 | 815 | 1008 |
| Sb - Antimony (Stibium) | 97 | 855 | 1080 |
| Si - Silicon | 57 | 1223 | 1742 |
| Sr - Strontium | 89 | 699 | 799 |
| Th - Thorium | 42 | 855 | 1080 |
| Zn - Zinc | 53 | 615 | 648 |
- T (oC) = 5/9 (T (oF) - 32)
