Electrical resistivity behaviors of liquid Pb–Sn binary alloy in the presence of ultrasonic field

• We study electrical resistivity variation of liquid Pb–Sn in the ultrasonic field.
• Strong resistivity drop is observed in the presence of ultrasonic field.
• Ultrasonic irradiation influence the short range ordered structures.
• The resistivity method has an application value in material preparation.

Electrical resistivity behaviors of liquid Pb–Sn alloys have been investigated in the presence of ultrasonic field. The process demonstrated significantly that electrical resistivity could reveal the precise influence caused by ultrasound. Details revealed by applying the resistivity measuring approach to the liquid Pb–Sn alloy show that the short ordered structures in the liquid could be modified by ultrasonic irradiation, and the resistivity approach could have application value in the ultrasonic irradiation process on the specific liquid metals and alloys.
