Description
Summary:aluminum-silicon carbide bar, heated in a furnace to its
AuCd4 particles, was placed in a brass container (10 cm x 10
cm x I cm). The container was uniformly heated to above the
compound gold-cadmium (AuCd4). The Pb-Bi material, with the
constant. Neutron radiography was used to record and observe
container while keeping the temperature at the other end
convective field as they undergo a phase change. To observe
eutectic with tracer particles made of the intermetallic
experiment was attempted using the lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi)
experiments were performed using solder (50% tin, 50% lead),
liquid state. An experiment was also performed using an
liquid state. These experiments revealed that neutron

Pb-Bi material due to natural convection.
radiography can be used to observe the flow of metals in a
