Abstract
In this work, liquid Sb-Sn-Zn alloys were studied to determine their density, viscosity, and surface tension using the discharge crucible method. The measurements were carried out for alloy compositions having X Sn/X Sb ratio of 1, 3, 4, and 9 and Zn content X Zn of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.7 in the temperature range from 550 K to 1050 K. The effect of the Zn concentration in the Sb-Sn-Zn alloys on their density, viscosity, and surface tension was observed. Over a wide temperature range, the viscosity and surface tension increased with increasing Zn content in the alloy, while the density decreased. The experimental results obtained for surface tension and viscosity were compared with the results of the Butler model for surface tension and with the Moelwyn-Hughes, Sichen–Boygen–Seetharaman, Seetharaman–Sichen, Kozlov–Romanov–Petrov, and Kaptay models for viscosity.
