Quantification of the chemical reactivity of molten nitrate salts with heat treatable aluminum alloys

This work explores the conditions for safe heat treatment of aluminum alloys containing lithium and magnesium in molten sodium nitrate (NaNO3) bath furnaces, and conditions where industrial accidents may occur. Using calorimetry coupled to classical thermodynamics, the strength of classical thermody...
