Rheology of liquid metals and alloys
Abstract
The flow behavior and viscosity of liquid Zn, Sn, Cd, Bi-42wt%Sn, Zn-7wt%Al, and Sn-3wt%Ag-0.5wt%Cu were characterized and quantified with rotational rheometry experiments. Evidences from this study shows these liquid systems uniquely exhibit a shear thinning and time-independent (non-thixotropic) flow behavior in all the evaluated shear rate regimes. We have attempted to offer a physical explanation from prior-art for the observed unique flow …
