Elsevier Wettability at High Temperatures - Volume 3 Book

Explore the scientific principles of wetting behavior in this specialized volume from the Pergamon Materials Series. Published by Elsevier, this text brings together current scientific understanding derived from theoretical models and quantitative experimental observations. The content focuses on the interaction between liquid metals or inorganic glasses and solid metals or ceramics at high temperatures ranging from 200 to 2000C. This book provides a deep look into a scientific concern that has spanned two centuries. It references the classical work of nineteenth-century scientists, including Dupre, Laplace, and Young, providing a foundation validated by observations of chemically inert ambient temperatures. It is an essential resource for those studying materials science and mechanical engineering at extreme thermal ranges.
