The results of investigations of the characteristics of the phase transitions of metal–carbon eutectic alloys, which, in particular, depend on the quality of the cell filling, are presented. Three main methods of filling are distinguished: the traditional method, the drop method and the finishing seal method. All three methods have been used at the Mendeleev Institute. Tests have shown that cells, filled using the finishing seal method, have better characteristics compared with those previously developed.
