Abstract
THE term alloy in its technical sense is used to indicate a solid mixture of two or more metals. The earlier investigators in this field, such as Matthiesen, Richie and many others, worked mainly with solid alloys, and they endeavoured to investigate the change in properties of the alloy, such as conductivity for heat and electricity, malleability, ductility and the like, with successive small changes in composition.
