Wettability and Reaction Kinetics in Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract

Research accomplishment during the last academic year are in two related areas: (a) further applications of the thermodynamic model developed in the previous years, and (b) kinetic studies in alumina/reactive metal systems. The ongoing projects are adaptations of the research findings from the previous years, aimed at improving the wettability at an aluminum/alumina interface and understanding the nature of the oxide barrier formed at the ceramic/liquid aluminum interface.
