Conclusions
-
1.
In the work described, a study was made of the wetting of boron single crystals by the iron group metals. It was established that liquid transition metals readily wet the surface of boron, the angle of contact decreasing from iron to nickel. The character of reaction in the systems MeVIII-B was investigated.
-
2.
The effects of temperature and time upon the angles of contact between the diborides of the Subgroups IVa–VIa metals and the iron group metals were studied. The kinetics of reaction between refractory borides and liquid transition metals was examined.
-
3.
The values of work of adhesion and interfacial energy for the systems MeB2-MeVIII were calculated and the character of reaction in these systems was determined.
-
4.
The character of reaction in systems composed of a refractory boride and a liquid iron group metal is explained in the light of the electronic structures of the phases in contact.
