Abstract
In three previous communications the relationship between bulk properties and the surface tension of liquid metals and alloys was demonstrated. The surface tension of liquid metals was correlated with plasma frequency. It was then shown that the surface tension of liquid metals as well as alloys could be obtained from the bulk modulus and most recently a method was given for predicting the surface tension from the plasma frequency of the constituents of a binary alloy. The purpose of the present communication is to show that the temperature coefficient of surface tension of liquid metals may be calculated from another bulk property - the bulk coefficient of thermal expansion.
