Density and Electrical Resistivity of Al–Ni–Co–Sm(Tb) Alloys

Density and electrical resistivity of Al-Ni-Co-Sm(Tb) glass-forming alloys were studied in wide temperature range include liquid state. It was found the sharp increase of density and decrease of resistivity at liquidus temperature. It was discovered that heating of the melts above a certain temperature leads to the appearance of a hysteresis of properties. Thermal expansion coefficient and temperature coefficient of resistivity were calculated from experimental data.
