The surface tension of liquid Ag–Cu eutectic alloy has been measured in a wide range of oxygen partial pressures using two different methods: the constrained drop method and the electromagnetic levitation method. In order to investigate the influence of oxygen potential on the surface tension of the Ag–40Cu (at.%) eutectic alloy, the oxygen...

This review represents the state of the art in the thermophysical properties of liquid Ag-Sn alloys highlighting the surface and wetting properties of Ag-Sn eutectic solder. It includes an atomistic approach developed within the framework of statistical mechanical theory in conjunction with a Quasi Lattice Theory that, through a rigorous...
