Paper, 'On certain ternary alloys. Part VI. Alloys containing aluminium, together with lead (or bismuth) and tin (or silver)' by Charles Romley Alder Wright

Reference number: PP/20/3

Date: 1892

Description

Wright writes: 'The experiments described in the previous five papers [see PP/13/30, PP/16/12, PP/17/11, PP/17/12 and PP/18/22] have shown inter alia that when the critical curves are delineated deduced with lead (or bismuth) as heavier immiscible metal, zinc as lighter ditto, and tin (or silver) as “solvent,” the curves where bismuth is substituted for lead lie inside, and those where silver is substituted for tin outside, the original curves; and, further, that in certain cases the formation of definite atomic compounds between particular pairs of metals leads to marked results as regards the mutual relations of the various pairs of conjugate points.'

Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes four diagrams relating to experimental observations.
