Abstract
The addition of copper (Cu) can decrease the toxicity of the most usable element antimony (Sb). Concentration-dependent thermodynamic, microscopic structural and transport properties of Cu-Sb melt at different temperatures were examined using the quasi-lattice theory of mixing. Moelwyn-Hughes’s approach was implemented for the computation of viscosity. Liquid Cu-Sb shows the segregating nature in the Sb rich region and the ordering nature in the Cu rich region at the temperature range of 1190-1490 K. The viscosity of the respective alloy decreases with an increase in temperature.
Keywords: Antimony, quasi lattice test, segregating nature, liquid alloy, mixing properties, copper-based alloy.
