Abstract

The isotherm wetting and spreading behaviors of polycrystalline TiC by molten Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 alloy were investigated at 1133 to 1253 K in a vacuum by using a modified sessile drop method. The system displays good wettability with the initial and final stable contact angles of 44 to 50° and 10 to 14°, respectively, mildly depending on the temperature. The spreading kinetics follows well defined exponential functions and could be described by a molecular dynamic model. On the other hand, a ZrC reaction layer was formed at the interface. The wetting was primarily promoted by the Zr adsorption at the triple junction and then by the formation of the reaction layer.
