Tungsten-Molybdenum Equilibrium Diagram and System of Crystallization Crystallization

IN this paper, it is proposed to outline a method for the determination of melting points of those metals and alloys having high fusion temperatures. The application of the method as used to determine the melting points of alloys of tungsten and molybdenum will be given. It will be seen from these results that tungsten and molybdenum form a completely FIG. 1.-PARTIAL SECTION OF APPARATUS USED TO DETERMINE MELTING POINTS OF TUNGSTEN AND MOLYBDENUM ALLOYS. isomorphous series. This is also verified by the accompanying photomicrographs. Tungsten and molybdenum have been found to crystallize in the salve system, namely, isometric, and the crystal units are cubes. These determinations were made by examining etching pits in the pure metals.
