Density and excess volume of the liquid Ti–V system measured in electromagnetic levitation

Abstract The density of the liquid Ti–V system was systematically measured using optical dilatometry method in electromagnetic levitation. Possible error sources have been discussed and minimized. A linear temperature dependency with negative slope found for all investigated alloys. Pure vanadium shows highest $${\rho }_{V}\left(T\right)=5.55\pm 0.03{\mathrm{gcm}}^{-3}-6.01\pm 0.52 {10}^{-4}{\mathrm{gcm}}^{-3}{\mathrm{K}}^{-1}$$ ?VT=5.55±0.03gcm-3-6.01±0.5210-4gcm-3K-1 , pure titanium lowest at }_{Ti}\left(T\right)=4.21\pm 0.02{\mathrm{gcm}}^{-3}-3.46\pm 0.30 xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">?TiT=4.21±0.02gcm-3-3.46±0.3010-4gcm-3K-1 every alloy ranging between these two extrema. molar volume utilized order to interpret compositional dependency. No significant excess evident. It therefore shown that acts like an ideal solution regarding density, coefficient. This result allows reliably calculate complete any given temperature.
