Ai. Kharlamov et al., Wettability of hot-pressed samples of boron-containing aluminum compounds by liquid metals and alloys, RUS J AP CH, 73(6), 2000, pp. 937-940
Highly dispersed powders of aluminum borides and borocarbides were sintered
by hot pressing. The temperature dependence of the wettability of hot-pres
sed samples of aluminum borides (alpha -AlB12 and AlB18) and borocarbides (
Al3B48C2, Al8B4C2, and AlB24C) with liquid aluminum, copper, germanium, sil
icon, and Al + 25 wt % Si and Cu + (3-6) wt % Ti was studied. The dependenc
e of wettability of a compound on its composition is analyzed.
