Abstract This paper presents a description of research works to determine the thermophysical properties of a tin-lithium alloy with a different percentage of lithium and tin atoms in the alloy. The method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used for the studies, by which the thermophysical properties of the alloy (temperature of phase transition and enthalpy) were determined. The work was carried out at the TiGrA experimental complex. Studies to determine the enthalpy and temperature of phase transition of prototypes of tin-lithium alloy were carried out in the temperature range from 150°C to 500°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min. The experiments were carried out with a pristine sample of tin (reference) and prototypes of a tin-lithium alloy, the percentage of lithium in which was 20, 25 and 27 at. %. As a result of the work performed, the melting point of the prototypes was determined, which was 224°C and 218°C. The values of the specific heat of fusion (enthalpy) of the investigated alloys were determined, which amounted to 76.5 J/g, 80.7 J/g and 86.3 J/g, respectively.
