Summary.

The sessile drop method has been used to measure density and surface tension for pure Ag, Bi, Sn, and their mixtures. For pure metals and Bi–Sn alloys negative temperature coefficients of surface tension have been obtained. In case of Ag–Bi and Ag–Sn alloys the temperature coefficients of surface tension take negative or positive values depending on composition. Experimental values of the surface tension for Ag–Bi, Ag–Sn, and Bi–Sn are compared with those computed from Butler’s model. A relatively good agreement is observed.
