Conclusions
-
1.
In systems composed of gallium and an oxide material, oxygen constitutes an adhesion-active substance, which substantially increases the strength with which the metal adheres to the substrate wetted by it.
-
2.
Spontaneous spreading of gallium over oxide materials in the presence of oxygen is prevented by the presence of a strong oxide film on the surface of the melt.
-
3.
In systems in which the oxide film on the wetting melt does not react with the substrate material, the presence of oxygen brings about no increase in adhesion strength.
