Abstract

The thermal expansion coefficients of glass-forming Zr-based alloys were measured in the melt, the undercooled liquid and the glassy/crystalline state. Due to the high reactivity of the liquid material the experiments were performed containerlessly in an electrostatic levitator. We used an optical method where the samples were imaged with a high-resolution CCD- camera and the volume of the samples was evaluated by digital image processing. The coefficients of thermal expansion in the liquid and in the solid state could be determined from the volume versus temperature curves. The results can be compared with measurements in the electromagnetic levitation facility TEMPUS performed under microgravity conditions in the mission MSL-1 and ground based DMA-measurements. The thermal expansion data can be interpreted in terms of the free volume model.
