INVESTIGATION OF BONDING IN OXIDE-FIBER (WHISKER) REINFORCED METALS.
Abstract
Factors affecting the wetting and bonding of nickel to sapphire (alpha-Al2O3) were investigated in a continuing study. The effects on the wetting behavior .001 to 1.0 atomic percent of active metal additives to the nickel were studied in detail. A series of 35 sessile drop experiments were performed and the results were analyzed to determine some of the parameters which affect the wetting. The crystallographic orientation of the sapphire substrate and a 'locking-in' of the contact angle had a profound influence on the measured contact angle, and this influence increased with increasing time at melting.
