Surface properties of liquid In-Zn alloys

▶ Surface tension of In-Zn was determined with MBP method and density with dilatometric method ▶ For pure components surface tension was verified with SD method ▶ With increasing content of Zn the surface tension increases but density decreases ▶ Indium is adsorbed in the surface layer of the solution for the whole range of concentrations ▶ Alloys of low Zn content show good agreement between experiment and Butler model calculations.
