Abstract
The results of a study, using electrical resistivity, of the solubility of Au in Pb in PbAu alloys in the range of concentration 22 to 650 at PPM Au are reported. In the range of temperature below 493K, the temperature dependence of the solubility of Au in Pb was found to be CAue=1.42*103 exp(-0.61/(kT)). The contribution to the resistivity arising from gold in the solute state depends on the temperature at which the resistivity is measured. The data are compared with previous measurements and the significance of the results is discussed.
