Dynamic surface tension measurements on molten metal-oxygen systems: model validation on molten tin

TLDR
In this article, a theoretical model on oxygen transport at the surface of liquid metals has been validated by dynamic surface tension measurements performed on liquid tin as test metal The oxygen contamination conditions have been obtained at different oxygen partial pressures under low total pressure conditions (Knudsen regime), confirming that an oxide removal regime occurs under an oxygen partial pressure much higher than the equilibrium one (the effective Oxidation Pressure).

The surface tension of liquid aluminium in high vacuum: The role of surface condition

TL;DR: In this article, the surface tension of pure Al and its relationship to the surface condition is discussed in the light of new surface tension results obtained by employing an accurate technique (the "large drop" technique) that minimizes the experimental error on σ, and high vacuum/high temperatures to promote deoxidation of molten Al.

High-Temperature Wetting and the Work of Adhesion in Metal/Oxide Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review data on wetting and the work of adhesion in metal/oxide systems at high temperatures in terms of proposed mutual adsorption models and reveal that the contact angle is 110°-130° at the plateau and drops to or below 90° at high and low p(O2) limits.

Review of data for the surface tension of pure metals

TL;DR: A survey of the experimentally determined values for the surface tension γ of molten pure metals has been carried out in this article, which is intended to provide an assessed data base for use with a mathematical model currently being developed at the National Physical Laboratory, UK, to predict surface tension of molten metal alloys.
