Abstract
The surface and volume properties of the zirconium–aluminum alloys synthesized by the aluminothermic reduction of zirconium from its dioxide are estimated theoretically and experimentally. The experimental values of surface tension and the metal and slag densities are used to calculate the interfacial characteristics that influence the separation of the products of metallothermic melting.
