Effect of Si on the Wettability of SiC/Al System

Abstract:

In this paper, Si was added to the Al alloy to research its effect on the wettability between SiC and Al at 1000°C. The results showed that the contact angle decreased with the increase of Si content in the Al alloys and it droped from 570 to 370 with the Si content from 0 to 12wt% and reached equillibrium with the further addition of Si to 18wt%. The improvement mechanism of Si on the wettabitliy is also discussed in this paper.
