Abstract

In article 2100068, S. T. Britt and P. C. Pistorius study liquid titanium-bearing iron (saturated with carbon) wets alumina crucibles. Wetting is caused by reaction between dissolved titanium and alumina; it can be prevented by pre-treating the alumina crucible with a liquid flux containing alumina and calcium fluoride. By avoiding wetting, clear images of titanium carbide formation on the iron droplet can be obtained, during confocal scanning laser microscopy.
