Abstract
Abstract The wetting behavior and interfacial phenomena of plain and nickel-coated alumina and silicon carbide ceramics with liquid aluminum at 800 °C was investigated. The coatings applied to the ceramic plates improved wettability with aluminum resulting from the dissolution of the coating in the liquid drop. The non-wetting condition of the as received ceramics was overcome to contact angles of 12.2° for Ni-coated SiC and 11.6° for Ni-coated Al2O3. With the addition of nickel as a coating, there was no dissolution of SiC in the alloy, and interfacial carbide did not appear.
