Abstract
An improved method for measuring the surface tension of liquid metals is presented. Surface oscillations of an electromagnetically levitated liquid nickel droplet are observed by a high speed video camera and digital image processing is used to evaluate the obtained spectra. Identification of the oscillation modes increases the precision of measurements significantly. In our experiments on Nickel we found a very good reproducibility and a decrease of surface tension with increasing temperature.
