The performance of tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) is related to the characteristic of matrix/W
interfaces, which depends directly on the wettability of the matrix materials on W. This work …

The wettability of pure Ag and Ag alloys (with Ni and Cu) on WC was investigated as a
function of temperature by means of sessile drop experiments. Ni was found to preferentially …

Reduced activation ferritic martensitic steel JLF-1 (Fe-9Cr-2 W-0.1 C) corroded in liquid Sn
at 673–873 K due to the formation of intermetallic compound layers. The outward growth of …

Contact angle for millimeter-size drops of lead on {100} and {110} surfaces of
monocrystalline copper and on polycrystalline copper was determined by means of …

Wetting of polycrystalline W substrates by a molten Zr55Al10Ni5Cu30 alloy was studied
using a modified sessile drop method at 1123–1173K in high vacuum. Good wettability with …

The specific feature of Cu (Co) solid solutions with a sub-solidus composition involves the
formation of submicron-sized cobalt particles on the free surface. In this work, Cu (Co) …

Improved liquid Li wettability on a solid substrate surface is a necessary component for the
research and development of blanket coolants, tritium breeders, and first wall materials for …

The dual-cooled lead lithium (PbLi) blanket is considered as one of the main options for the
Chinese demonstration reactor (DEMO). Liquid PbLi alloy is used as the breeder material …

Complex analysis of interfacial thermodynamics was performed for a lead–copper binary
system. Contact angle on polycrystalline copper and surface tension was measured for …

The accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) has potential economy and safety and
relatively mature technology base, which has been chosen as a priority development …
