The purpose of this book is to bring together current scientific
understanding of wetting behaviour that has been gained from
theoretical models and quantitative experimental observations. The
materials considered are liquid metals or inorganic glasses in
contact with solid metals or ceramics at temperatures of
200-2000oC.
Wetting has been a significant scientific concern for the last two
centuries and reference will be made to classical work by
nineteenth century scientists such as Dupre, Laplace and Young that
was validated by observations of the behaviour of chemically inert
ambient temperature systems.
In attempting to achieve the aims of the book, the text has been
divided into ten Chapters that can be grouped into four stages of
presentation. The first stage comprises two Chapters that review
established and newly developed models for their relevance to
wetting behaviour at high temperatures, including recent models
that encompass the role of chemical reactions at the solid/liquid
interfaces. Attention is paid both to equilibrium wetting behaviour
(Chapter 1) and to the factors that control the approach to
equilibrium (Chapter 2). Then follow Chapters concerned with
experimental techniques for scientific measurement of the extent of
wetting (Chapter 3) and with the surface energy data for both
metals and non-metals that are essential for quantitative
interpretation of wetting behaviour (Chapter 4). Descriptions of
experimentally determined and quantified wetting behaviour are
presented and interpreted in the third part comprising five
Chapters dealing with the characteristics of metal/metal,
metal/oxide, metal/non-oxide, metal/carbon and molten glass/solid
systems. The book concludes with a Chapter commenting on the role
of wetting behaviour in joining similar and dissimilar materials by
liquid route techniques.
