INVESTIGATION OF BONDING IN OXIDE-FIBER (WHISKER) REINFORCED METALS.
Abstract
The effects of various additives to nickel on its wetting and adherence to sapphire (alpha-Al2O3) were investigated by preparing special binary alloys containing one atomic percent of Al, Cu, In, Ti, Zr, and Cr. Sessile drop experiments were conducted in vacuo (5 x 1000000 Torr) at 148C to 1500C in order to observe the contact angles and the degree of wetting. Shear tests were conducted on the solidified sessile drops of nickel. Values as high as 25,000 psi were recorded for the nickel drop containing chromium. (Author)
