Wetting and spreading behaviors of Al-Si alloy on surface textured stainless steel by ultrafast laser
摘要： An ultrafast laser was used to ablate the surface of stainless steel. Periodical surface micro-textures including micro-grooves, micro-pits and micro/nano-ripples were successfully fabricated. As a typical reactive wetting system, Al-Si alloy was used to study the wetting and spreading behaviors on the laser patterned surfaces of stainless steel. The results showed that initial, rapid spreading and gradient balance stages were found in the spreading process. By comparing to the primitive surface, Al-Si alloy exhibited worse wettability on the surface with micro-grooves and micro-pits because of the geometrical characteristics and nano-scale oxides residuals after laser processing; however, Al-Si alloy showed better wettability on the surface with micro/nano-ripples owing to the formation of micro/nano hierarchically patterns and the resultant improved capillary actions. The interfacial reaction layer formed during wetting and spreading processes were also investigated. The surface micro-textures were found to enhance the interfacial metallurgical reactions, thus increasing the thickness of the reaction layer. This work provides a new method to improve the wettability, spreadability and metallurgical reactions of Al-Si/stainless steel reactive wetting system and may extend its use in other reactive wetting systems. This method may be able to improve brazing, soldering, coating and other processes involving solid/liquid interfacial interactions.

Reactive wetting of binary Sn Cr alloy on polycrystalline chemical vapour deposited diamond at relatively low temperatures
摘要： Synthetic diamond has excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, which makes it an ideal material in a wide range applications from abrasive grinding tools to modern electronic devices. Hence, understanding the wettability of metals on the synthetic diamond is of great importance for the development of diamond-related materials and devices. In this study, the wettability and spreading kinetics of binary SneCr alloy on chemical vapour deposed (CVD) polycrystalline diamond compacts were investigated using a sessile drop method. In situ observation of contact angle at elevating temperatures indicated trace addition of Cr dramatically improved the wettability of Sn on CVD diamond, and the SneCr alloy started to wet CVD diamond at approximately 750 °C. Isothermal spreading kinetic analysis revealed that the spreading of SneCr alloy on CVD diamond was controlled by the kinetics of chemical reaction at advancing triple line. Microstructure characterization indicated that the formation of nano-sized scallop-like Cr7C3 grains was responsible for the improved wettability of SneCr alloy on CVD diamond substrate. The wetting temperature was found to play a determinant role in the interfacial carbide formation, and hence the reactive wetting of SneCr alloy on CVD diamond at temperatures from 700 to 900 °C.
