We have developed a method for the evaporation of alloys in high vacuum which from the nature of the procedure used should be applicable to all alloys which are not refractory. The method has been tested on α-brass and β-brass and on a gold-cadmium alloy. These alloys have components whose vapor pressures are very different and yet chemical and electron diffraction analyses on the evaporated brass alloys and chemical analysis on the evaporated cadmium-gold alloy show that the composition of the original alloy is held to within close limits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
