Summary
-
1.
The surface tension of electrolytic copper has been measured over the range 1100–1600° by Sugden's method.
-
2.
The surface tension of copper has a maximum value of 1350°.
-
3.
Hypotheses are advanced to explain the maxima observed in the surface tension-temperature curves of certain metals.
