This applies, for example, to titanium, magnesium or aluminum alloys. Most liquid alloys are comprised of constituents that differ in vapor pressures, resulting in harmful phenomenon during melting due to evaporation of some of its components. This harmful process may be limited by the selection of a suitable gas atmosphere in which the liquid metal treatment process is carried out. In the paper, results of study on the impact of the type of gas atmosphere on the rate of evaporation of zinc in argon – hydrogen mixtures are presented. It should be noted that such mixtures are used, for example, in metal welding processes, in which it is also possible to evaporate a component of the so-called liquid metal pool. The research results showed that the rate of zinc evaporation increases with the increase of hydrogen content in the gas atmosphere.}, type={Article}, title={Evaporation of Zinc in an Argon – Hydrogen Mixture}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/124011/PDF-MASTER/AMM-2022-3-10-Matula.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2022.139679}, keywords={Evaporation, Gas atmosphere, Thermogravimetry, Argon-hydrogen mixture}, }
