Abstract

An improved sessile drop method was used to measure the dynamic nonreactive wetting behavior of different titanium concentrations interstitial-free molten steel on an alumina substrate at 1550 ºC, and the interfacial tension was also calculated by Young’ equation based on the measured surface tension and the static contact angle compared to the previous sessile drop method. And the discrepancies were investigated by analyzing the interface layer between the melt and the alumina substrate with different oxygen partial pressures. Furthermore, it was discussed for the forces analysis of the dynamic contact angle for the improved sessile drop method and the interface layer reactive for the improved sessile drop method. The results demonstrate that the advancing angle, receding and static contact angles between the flowing melt and the solid substrate were quickly obtained by the improved sessile drop method. And the interfacial tension between molten steel and alumina substrate, which is 1428.71 and 1221.35 mN/m, respectively, with titanium concentrations of 280 ppm and 540 ppm for the improved sessile drop method, is higher than for the previous sessile drop method, which is 1245.56 and 719.01 mN/m, respectively. The low alloy interstitial-free molten steel and alumina substrate had formed an interface layer for the previous sessile drop method, and the thickness of the interface layer increased from 3.5 to 77.8 μm with a titanium concentration of 540 ppm as the oxygen partial pressure increased from 5.4 × 10−23 to 5.4 × 10−19 atm. The interface layer, which is composed of alloy compounds such as silicon, manganese and titanium oxides, is sensitive to the active alloy of interstitial-free molten steel and oxygen partial pressure.
