Among different Ga-based alloys the properties of the Ga−In−Sn eutectic alloy make it particularly suitable for many applications, in particular as it is liquid at room temperature. However, the experimental data on its thermophysical properties are rather discrepant. In this work, the electrical and thermal conductivity, thermoelectric power, viscosity, surface tension and density of the Ga−In−Sn eutectic have been investigated in the temperature range between the melting temperature and 700 K. The experimental results obtained are compared with the data available in the literature.

New workable aluminum-based light alloys are a key issue in current materials science. In this work, thermophysical properties (density, viscosity, and electrical conductivity) of liquid Al-4 wt pct Cu, Al-20 wt pct Cu, Al-30 wt pct Cu, and AlCu4TiMg alloys have been measured in a wide temperature range. The anomalies with respect to the concentration dependence of the electrical conductivity are explained in terms of the s-d hybridization model. A comparison with data and scaling relations available in the literature is given.
