Our study shows that the magnesium gallium alloy is slightly interacting than the magnesium lead alloy. The surface tension and viscosity of both alloys was compared using the Butler equation as improved by Kaptay and KRP (Kozlov-Ronanov-Petrov) approach respectively. The surface tension of Mg-Pb liquid alloy increases but decreases in Mg-Ga alloy with an increase in the concentration of Mg. The viscosity has a nonlinear variation for both alloys with the increase in the concentration of magnesium.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Institute of Science and Technology}, author={Panthi, N. and Bhandari, I.
