The wettability of ceramics by liquid metals is discussed from both the fundamental point of
view and the point of view of applications. The role of interfacial reactions (simple dissolution …

The wettability of ceramic and metallic solids by liquid metals is discussed with emphasis on
the effect of interfacial reactions on the spreading kinetics and the final degree of wetting …

After a brief presentation of thermodynamics and kinetics of non-reactive wetting, the recent
results and theoretical developments concerning the reactive wetting of solids by liquid …

Solid state dewetting of ultrathin films is the most straightforward means of fabricating
substrate-supported noble metal nanostructures. This assembly process is, however, quite …

Abstract The Cu-Ni system is a typical dissolutive system due to its mutual dissolution across
a wide range of temperatures and compositions. We characterized the effects of Ni …

The reactive wetting of AgCuTi filler metal over a TC4 substrate was conducted using real-
time in situ hot stage microscopy. In addition to the commonly observed bulk liquid, a rapidly …

In the present work, wetting behaviour of Ag–Cu eutectic filler on high nitrogen austenitic
stainless steel (HNS) and 316L austenitic stainless steel (316L) base metals was firstly …

A substrate-based templated assembly route has been devised which offers large-area, high-
throughput capabilities for the fabrication of periodic arrays of sub-micrometer and …

Wetting of Si single crystals by pure copper has been studied using the dispensed drop
technique under high vacuum at 1100° C. At this temperature copper dissolved large …

The effect of applying a direct electric current on the wetting behavior of molten Sn on Cu
substrates at a nominal temperature of 510 K was investigated using a sessile drop method …
