Wetting Behavior and Interface Characteristic of Ti_32.8Zr_30.2Ni_5.3Cu₉Be_22.7/Ti6Al4V

Abstract:

The wetting behavior and the interaction at the liquid-solid interface are significant in preparation of metallic glass composite. In this paper, the wetting behavior and the interfacial interaction between Ti_32.8Zr_30.2Ni_5.3Cu₉Be_22.7 (denoted as ZT3) bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloy melt and Ti6Al4V (denoted as TC4) substrate at different temperatures were investigated using sessile drop method. The results show that ZT3 alloy melt wetted the substrate well. With the increase of temperature, the droplet spread out rapidly and then came to equilibrium gradually. The equilibrium contact angle under 1273 K stabilized at about 15°. Dendrite phase generated at the interface during the wetting progress. The composition of the interface product transformed from Ti_69.8Zr_24.2Al_2.2V₁Cu_2.8 to Ti_73.6Zr_15.3Al₅V_2.7Cu_2.6Ni_0.8 with the temperature rising from 973 K to 1273 K. Meanwhile, the dissolution of the TC4 substrate increased with increasing the temperature.
