In the present paper our model for predictions of surface tension in the multicomponent solutions is used. The model covers the thermodynamic and physical properties (surface tension and molar volume) of boundary binary solutions in the considered multicomponent systems. In the case of Cu-Ag-Au alloys were used experimental data for the surface tension and density for binary Cu-Ag, Cu-Au systems. Data on Ag-Au systems are found in the literature. The calculated values of surface tension for Cu-Ag-Au alloys are in a good agreement with measured values available in the literature.
