Iron and Steel Division - Use of Electrical Resistance Measurements to Determine the Solidus of the Lead-tin System - Discussion

(E. R. Jette and J. R. Long presiding) M. B. BEVER*—The method re- ported in this interesting paper promises to he of fairly wide applicability. It may be expected that the solidus and liquidus lines in other low-melting alloy systems can also be determined by resistance measurements. As these alloys are especi- ally slow to reach equilibrium, a static method will improve the accuracy with which these parts of their phase diagrams can be determined. It should be noted that the sensitivity of the method for the determination of
