Abstract
Densities and thermal expansion coefficients of liquid Al–Ag and Al–Cu alloys were measured using the technique of electromagnetic levitation. This technique involves producing shadow images of the sample from which the volume is calculated by an image processing algorithm.
Data was obtained at temperatures above the melting point. The concentration dependence of density and thermal expansion was studied for both systems. It was found for Al–Ag and Al–Cu that both density and thermal expansion can be related to a negative excess volume and its temperature coefficient.
