molten alloys

Featured Replies

will centrifuging an alloy in it's molten form seperate the elements within it?

Can't see why not, after all it's pretty much the same as any solution.

Wait up, I didn't think a solution could be centrifuged, only a suspension.

 

Some alloys are solid solution and monocrystalline, those wouldn't be able to be centrifuged to any effect. Others are merely homogeneous mixtures, those type could be centrifuged.... but if any components of those form a solid solution, then those parts wouldn't separate.

the outside would become more concentrated in the heavier component but not by much. the added temperature will increase back diffusion considerably.

 

its going to have to be an extremely large acceleration and would require multiple stages for separation.
