Abstract
We have used the sessile drop method to study interfacial properties in low-melting metal – niobium and iron single crystal systems. The study was conducted on an automated apparatus which allowed us to photograph the drop and to transfer an image to a computer for further processing. We present data on the effect of temperature on the surface tension and contact angles for wetting of niobium single crystal substrates by pure metals (silver, lead, and indium) and by lead – silver, silver – copper alloys and also for wetting of an iron single crystal by lead.
