Abstract

The surface tension and viscosity of molybdenum have been determined by the oscillation drop technique in conjunction with a vacuum electrostatic levitation furnace. These properties are reported over wide temperature ranges, covering the liquid state above and below the melting temperature (Tm = 2896 K). Over the 2650–3000 K temperature range, the surface tension and the viscosity can respectively be expressed as σ(T) = 2.29 × 103 − 0.26(T − Tm) (mN m−1) and η(T) = 0.27exp[73 × 103/(RT)] (mPa s).
