Contents:

Front Cover; Wettability at High Temperatures; Copyright Page; Contents; Series Preface; Preface; Chapter 1. Fundamental equations of wetting; Chapter 2. Dynamics of wetting by metals and glasses; Chapter 3. Methods of measuring wettability parameters; Chapter 4. Surface energies; Chapter 5. Wetting properties of metal/metal systems; Chapter 6. Wetting properties of metal/oxide systems; Chapter 7. Wetting properties of metal/non-oxide ceramic systems; Chapter 8. Wetting properties of metal/carbon systems; Chapter 9. Wetting by glasses and salts; Chapter 10. Wetting when joining.

Summary: The purpose of this book is to bring together current scientific understanding of wetting behaviour that has been gained from theoretical models and quantitative experimental observations. The materials considered are liquid metals or inorganic glasses in contact with solid metals or ceramics at temperatures of 200-2000 o C. Wetting has been a significant scientific concern for the last two centuries and reference will be made to classical work by nineteenth century scientists such as Dupré, Laplace and Young that was validated by observations of the behaviour of chemically inert ambien.
