An Equation of State for Metals

Abstract

An equation of state model, including the solid to liquid and liquid to vapor phase transitions, has been developed. It is applicable for materials which usually melt, rather than sublimate, and whose vapor consists of atomic species. The parameters appearing in the formulation are completely determined from a limited amount of data which, for many materials, is currently available. A computer program which gives the pressure as a function of volume and internal energy has been written and used to obtain numerical results for aluminum, titanium, and beryllium.
