Correlation of Grain Boundary Character with Wetting Behavior

  • Published:
Interface Science

Abstract

Wetting of ∼975 grain boundaries (GB's) by liquid Cu in an iron-based alloy has been studied as a function of the five macroscopic degrees of freedom (DoF's) of grain boundary character. In addition, models of GB energy in terms of all five DoF's, and of anisotropic solid-liquid interfacial energy have been developed. The experimentally observed wetting behavior is interpreted in terms of the model, and it is shown that reasonable overall agreement is obtained between experimental results and model predictions.
