Abstract

The spreading kinetics of molten aluminum on ceramic surfaces bearing reactive coatings has been studied through the direct observation of sessile drops, either formed in situ or emplaced at temperature. Analysis of videotapes permitted the assessment of the rate of advance of rapidly spreading droplets. Experimental conditions in this study were chosen to avoid the severe retarding effect of the aluminum oxide film which is typically encountered in aluminum wetting experiments. A variety of reactive coating systems were examined (B, Cu, Ni, Ti, and Ti + B), and the effect of coating amount was assessed. Based upon the experiments of this study, the main effect of the coatings is to drive spreading due to strong exothermic interfacial reactions. The intensity of the interfacial reaction causes the change in free energy per unit area of interface to dominate the rate of movement of the triple line.
