Density and Molar Volume of Molten Ni-Based Commercial Alloys Measured by Modified Sessile Drop Method

The densities of four kinds of molten Ni-based commercial alloys were measured with a modified sessile drop method, and calculated using the calculating software. It is found that the densities of the molten Ni-based commercial alloys decrease and their molar volume increase with increasing of temperature. Compared with the ideal mixing, the molar volumes of the molten Ni-based commercial alloys show negative deviations. It can be attributed to an accommodation between various atoms in the alloys.
