Abstract

The wettability and the interfacial interaction between pure liquid titanium and ZrO 2 (CaO stabilized) were studied by the self-designed measuring apparatus in argon atmosphere. The morphology and element distribution of the liquid/solid cross section perpendicular to the interface were analyzed by SEM and EPMA. Results show that some chemical reaction occurs in the interface between pure liquid titanium and ZrO 2 (CaO stabilized), but it is not severe. The molten titanium is not wet on the ZrO 2 (CaO stabilized), with the contact angle of 103°. The total free energy variation of the Ti/zirconia system caused by the liquid/solid interface reaction can explain the influence of interfacial reaction on the wettability.
