Empirical Model for the Estimation of Thermophysical Properties of Liquid Metal Alloys

A model for calculating the main properties of liquid metal binary alloys at standard pressure based on experimental data observation is presented. Given the characteristics of the pure metals, the model allows to calculate density, surface tension, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of binary alloys at various concentrations along the liquidus line. Some preliminary comparisons for $\mathrm{Al}$–$\mathrm{Si}$ and $\mathrm{Al}$–$\mathrm{Cu}$ systems are in satisfactory agreement with the model.
