The wettability of Fe based alloy on TiO

Abstract

For developing TiO based imitated gold materials, the wettabilities of Fe and Fe-Cr-Ni-Ti on TiO were studied. The results indicated that the wettabilities of Fe and Fe-Cr on TiO were poor, and their wetting angles were about 90° at melting point. The wetting angles reduced with the increase of wetting temperature, but the influence of temperature was small. Fe and Fe-Cr containing Cr 50% or less could react with TiO on the interface to form Fe₂Ti and Ti₂O₃, but this did not improve the wettability effectively. When Ni-Ti was added into Fe-Cr alloy, Ni₃Ti was formed on the interface, which can reduce the interface energy, improve the wettability, and prevent the formation of Fe₂Ti and Ti₂O₃. The wetting angles could go down to about 40° when 3% Ni-Ti was added to Fe-Cr alloy.
