W360 is a hot work tool steel produced by voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG, a special steel producer located in Styria, Austria. Surface tension and density of liquid W360 were studied as a function of temperature in a non-contact, containerless fashion using the oscillating drop method inside an electromagnetic levitation setup. For both, surface tension and density, a linear model was adapted to present the temperature dependence of these measures, including values for the uncertainties of the fit parameters found. The data obtained are compared to pure iron (with 91 wt% the main component of W360), showing an overlap for the liquid density while there is a significant difference in surface tension (− 5.8 % at the melting temperature of pure iron of 1811 K).

W360是由位于奥地利施蒂利亚州的特种钢生产商奥钢联伯勒-德尔勒有限公司制造的一种热作工具钢。使用电磁悬浮装置内部的振荡滴落法，以非接触，无容器的方式研究了液体W360的表面张力和密度与温度的关系。对于表面张力和密度，都采用线性模型来表示这些测量值的温度依赖性，包括找到的拟合参数的不确定性值。将获得的数据与纯铁（W360的主要成分占91 wt％）进行比较，显示出液体密度重叠，而表面张力存在显着差异（在1811 K的纯铁熔化温度下为-5.8％） ）。
