The discussion focuses on the search for a eutectic alloy containing Strontium and Lithium that remains liquid at or near room temperature. Participants reference the Lithium-Strontium binary phase diagrams available through ASM International, specifically the diagrams based on the works of Hubberstey (1994) and Bale (1990). These diagrams indicate temperature ranges of 100.0 - 800.0 °C and 120.0 - 190.0 °C, respectively, and highlight the need for experimental verification due to conflicting data in other systems. The conclusion emphasizes that the Lithium-Strontium system does not provide a suitable alternative to Mercury and Galinstan for room temperature applications.
PREREQUISITESMaterials scientists, metallurgists, and engineers involved in alloy development and those seeking alternatives to traditional liquid metals for various applications.
If one is looking for a binary phase diagram, one would be able to find Sr-Li phase diagram through ASM International in their alloy phase diagram database.Chris Wallin said:Hello! I am looking for a eutectic (liquid) alloy that includes Strontium and Lithium at or near room temperature. Does anyone have an idea of where to look for it? Thanks!
