EFFECT OF SUBSTRATE OXIDATION OF NICKEL ON WETTING BEHAVIOUR IN INDUSTRIAL ALLOY 226D/Ni SYSTEM

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of technological factors (surface treatment and contact time) on the kinetics of wetting of nickel substrates by a liquid aluminum alloy. Wetting kinetics studies were carried out in vacuum at 700&...

Thermal conductivity of carbon-reinforced metal-matrix composites

The paper presents a critical analysis of the current state-of-the-art thermo-physical properties of metal composite materials, in which different types of carbon reinforcing phase have been used: graphite, diamond, carbon fibres, carbon nanotubes...
