The surface tensions of 12 typical casting magnesium alloys slags has been measured
and the influence of LiCl
MgF2
K.F
MgO
A12O3
ZrOz and ZnO oa the surface tensions of some of the slags has been investigated by the maximum bubble method. It is indicated that there is not much difference among the surface tensions of the 12 slags
and the oxides of alloy elements can reduce the surface tensions of the slags
