摘要

Liquid metals play a crucial role in strategic industrial processes such as additive manufacturing, casting, and welding. Accurate knowledge of their physicochemical properties, particularly surface tension, is essential for process optimization. This work presents a fast-multi-burst acoustic excitation method applied through a loudspeaker in an aerodynamic levitation setup for determining the surface tension of high-purity iron (99.95 %) and 304L stainless steel. The method is based on oscillating droplet resonance and the Rayleigh theoretical framework. The multi-burst excitation enables the acquisition of multiple dynamic responses from a single experiment, providing several independent surface tension measurements on the same sample. Successive acoustic bursts, delivered at short time intervals, induce oscillations from which only the free vibration phases are analyzed. To improve frequency identification and observe frequency splitting during successive bursts, a time frequency analysis using spectrograms is employed in addition to Fourier transform processing. Surface tension measurements obtained for iron (1 605 °C to 1 996 °C) and 304L stainless steel (1 604 °C to 2 185 °C) show good agreement with literature data. The proposed multi-burst acoustic excitation technique is therefore a rapid, contamination-free, and reliable method for determining the surface tension of liquid metals at very high temperatures.
