Abstract

The broad interest in the thermophysical properties of gallium-based melts is stimulated by their extensive use in various applications, such as sliding contacts, heat-sensitive elements of liquid-metal thermometers and thermocouples, carrier liquid for conducting magnetic fluids and the working medium for physical modeling in solidification and magnetohydrodynamic studies. The electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, viscosity, density and thermoelectric power were determined for different alloy compositions in a wide temperature range below and above the liquidus. Respective scaling relations are proposed. A comparison with data available in literature is given.

Keywords: Liquid metal; Gallium–indium; Thermophysical properties
