Surface Tension and Density of Ag-Au-Cu

One of the most important ternary systems for noble metal alloys is Ag-Au-Cu and this ternary system is used as an example to calculate the surface tension and density of liquid.

The surface tension thermophysical property data is included with the TCS Noble Metal Alloys Database (TCNOBL) as of version 3 (TCNOBL3).
