| Abstract: | An X-radiographic technique was developed to obtain profiles of molten ceramic menisci and pendant drops sealed in molybdenum or tungsten capsules. The surface tension for Al2O3 was calculated from the shape of the drops or menisci. Molybdenum capsules lowered the surface tension value. The density was 3.01 g/cm8 at the melting point. |
