N2 - This work describes the interactions of molten bismuth with other low-melting point metals (Sn, In, Ga and Zn) under sonication. Binary combinations of bismuth and one of these metals were melted together in hot silicone oil and irradiated with ultrasonic energy to form micro/nano alloy particles. The morphology, composition and crystal structure of these particles were analyzed. It was found that bismuth forms metal matrix composites with tin and zinc, intermetallic compounds with indium and an alloy with gallium. We also followed the structural changes in the system by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron microscopy.
