Title: Interfacial tension between magnesium alloys and chloride-fluoride melts

Journal Article · · J. Appl. Chem. USSR (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5038840

The authors use the method of maximum pressure in a gas bubble for investigating interfacial and surface tension of magnesium alloys in relation to their contents of such additives as aluminum, zinc, and manganese, and also of rare earth metals -- cerium and neodymium. Tables present data on the surface properties of alloys with two separate melt systems. Analyzing their results, the authors obtain a series of equations for finding the extremal point -alloy composition with the minimal or maximal spreading coefficient.
