A material is considered an alloy if it contains at least two different metals or one metal and one nonmetal. It might be a single phase, a mixture of metallic phases, or an intermetallic compound with no clear boundary between the steps. Alternatively, it could be none of these things. Aircraft construction, the military, industry, medicine, and manufacturing are some of the many alloy applications. Aluminium, copper, nickel, stainless steel, and titanium alloys are used in various tools, machines, vehicles, and buildings across multiple fields. As a consequence of these applications, we look at the role that radiative heat transfer plays in the movement of ternary alloys over a melting surface. Furthermore, Nimonic 80A and aluminium alloys (AA7072-AA7075) are combined to make ternary alloys, with Ethylene Glycol as the solvent. The PDEs were obtained by approximating the Navier–Stokes equation using the boundary layer approach under the flow assumptions. This system is translated into ODEs using similarity transformations. A dimensionless system is explained using the bvp4c method. The impacts of the relevant physical parameters are elucidated quantitatively and visually. It is found that, the higher R value indicates a more robust heat transmission to the liquid, resulting in a thicker temperature field. Furthermore, the mixing of more nanoparticles may need more energy, which will result in an increase in the temperature profile.
