Abstract
The surface tension of liquid tin of three different grades of purity (99.85, 99.96, and 99.999%) was measured by the classical sessile drop method over the temperature range 523–1023 K, in heating and cooling regimes. The results obtained show that the metal purity affects the values of surface tension and its temperature dependence. The highest values of surface tension and smooth linear temperature dependence were obtained in cooling regime for tin of the highest purity. With increasing content of impurities, both surface tension and its temperature coefficient decrease while the scatter of the data increases. The surface tension values measured on heating regime show higher scatter, compared to those obtained in cooling regime, and the temperature dependence of the surface tension is curvilinear rather than linear.
