Abstract

A simple thermodynamic model of the solid-liquid interface in binary systems is presented and used as a means of estimating the solid-liquid interfacial energy, γSL, in such systems. The model is extended to pseudo-binary systems such as transition metal carbide/liquid metal systems. In combination with wetting data the estimated γSL values can be used to estimate the surface energy of the solid, γSV. In most cases, estimated values of γSL and γSV are in good agreement with experimentally determined values.
