Abstract

For a given non-reactive metal M- refractory oxide system, the influence of a metallic solute A on interfacial chemistry and wetting depends mainly on the value of εO−A the Wagner interaction parameter which quantifies the solute A-solute oxygen interactions in the liquid matrix M.

For εO−A < 0 (moderate attraction between solutes A and O) additions of A in M enhance dissolution of oxide in the liquid alloy, thereby increasing the dissolved oxygen content. The O-A clusters formed are adsorbed at the metal-oxide interface leading to an increase in both wettability and adhesion energy. For εO−A ≪0 (strong A-O interactions), solute A can also form an oxide by reduction of the substrate. The more metallic in character this oxide is, the more wettable it will be by molten metal.
