Description of dynamic viscosity depending on the alloys composition and temperature using state diagrams

The equilibrium nature of viscosity and fluidity is discovered on the basis of the Boltzmann distribution within the framework of the concept of randomized particles as a result of the virtual presence of crystal-mobile, liquid-mobile and vapor-mobile particles. It allows one to consider the viscosity and fluidity of solutions, in particular, melts of metal alloys, from the point of view of the equilibrium partial contributions of each component in the total viscosity and fluidity, despite the kinetic interpretation of natural expressions for these properties of the liquid. A linearly additive partial expression of viscosity is possible only for perfect solutions, in this case, for alloys with unrestricted mutual solubility of the components. Alloys with eutectics, chemical compounds and other features of the state diagram are characterized by viscosity dependencies that repeat the shape of liquidus curve over entire range of the alloy composition at different temperatures, with an increase in smoothness and convergence of these curves at increasing temperature. It was established that these features of viscosity temperature dependence are completely revealed within the framework of the concept of randomized particles and the virtual cluster model of viscosity in calculating the fraction of clusters determining the viscosity of the alloy. That viscosity of the alloy is found by the formula in which thermal energy RT_cr at liquidus temperature is the thermal barrier of chaotization, characterizing the crystallization temperature of the melt T_cr, as well as the melting point of pure substances. On this basis, a method is proposed for calculating the alloys viscosity by phase diagrams using the temperature dependences of pure components viscosity to change the alloy’s viscosity in proportion to ratio of the clusters fractions at any temperature above liquidus line and for the pure component, taking into account the mole fraction of each component. As a result, a three-factor model of the liquid alloy viscosity has been obtained in which the thermal barrier of chaotization RTcr is used as variable for the first time. It determines the fraction of clusters for both pure substances (at RT_cr  =  RT_m ) and for alloys. This thermal barrier reflects the essence of the virtual cluster theory of liquid and adequacy of the concept of randomized particles.
