STUDIES OF ALLOY THERMODYNAMICS BY LIQUID TIN SOLUTION CALORIMETRY. Final Report for November 1, 1953 to October 31, 1958

A liquid tin solution calorimeter capable of accurate measurements of alloy heats of formation as well as other types of thermodynamic measurements was developed and applied to the thermodynamic study of a number of alloy systems. The accomplishiments of this study were reviewed mainly by reference to previous technical reports and published papers which have been submitted. The technical reports, published papers, and graduate theses resulting from this research are listed, and an evaluation is made of the progress made. (auth)
