Abstract
The wettablities of Ni-20Si-xTi (x=0∼15) and Cu-5Si-xTi (x=0∼15) alloys against Si3N4 were investigatged by measuring contact angles in vacuum using a sessile drop method. The addition of 5 at% Ti or more to Ni-20Si alloys effectively lowers the contact angle against Si3N4. The Ni-20Si alloy containing 10 at% Ti shows the lowest contact angle (30 degrees at 1523 K after 3.9 ks) and the best wettability against Si3N4. The addition of Ti to Cu-5Si alloys effectively decreases the contact angle. Cu-5Si alloys containing 5 at% Ti or more show low wetting angles at 1473 K. The active metal Ti improves the wettability of Si3N4 by these alloys, because it moves to the metal-ceramic interface.
