Study on the Transformation of Zinc by Electric Resistance in Connection with Eutectic Phenomena

Abstract

Accurate measurements of the electric resistance of zinc were made by the potentiometer method in the range of temperature from room temperature up to 350℃. The anomalous changes were observed at the temperatures, 170, 200, 230 and 320℃. The first two temperatures were explained respectively to be the eutectic temperatures of the solders, Pt-Sn-Zn and Sn-Zn systems, used to solder the potential lead and the specimen ; 230℃ to be the temperature of second separation in the former solder ; 320℃ to be the eutectic temperature of the alloy, Pd-Zn system formed in the specimen. From a conception explaining the eutectic phenomenon, 170°, 200°and 320℃ were considered to be anomalies of zinc itself
