Abstract
We used the sessile drop method to study the temperature and concentration dependences of the density and surface tension of melts in the manganese – tin system. The density polytherms are linear dependences which are consistent with those calculated by the additivity rule for the specific volumes of the pure components. The temperature dependences of the surface tension are also linear and their temperature coefficient changes from negative values for tin-rich melts to positive values for melts with high manganese content. The surface tension isotherm is satisfactorily described by the Popel-Pavlov equation. We calculated the composition of the surface layer of the studied melts as a function of the composition of the bulk phase. We have shown that the model for the surface layer of melts in the Mn – Sn system at 1300°C is close to monolayer.
