to derive an equation which will apply to the surface tensions of all stainless steels. It was
assumed that the Al content was sufficient to hold the soluble oxygen content down to 5
ppm. The surface tensions of stainless steels can be expressed in terms of two variables,
temperature and wt% sulphur: γ (\rm mNm^-1)= 1840-0.4 (T-1823)-0.056 T\rm Ln\Big {1+ e^
28798 T-8.5647 (0.68\rm S)\Big\} The calculated surface tensions were found to be within …
