Abstract
An experimental set-up for measuring the surface tension and contact a ngles, of liquid metals and alloys at high temperatures is presented. The apparatus is based on sessile drop method and uses a charge couple d device (CCD) camera to take the drop profile. Using this method, the surface tension of liquid Fe73B13Si9 alloy and it's dependence on tem perature has been investigated. Contact angles of this liquid alloy on quartz, alumina and boron nitride have also been determined using the presented apparatus. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
