Abstract
The effects of Al and silicon additions to Cu based brazing alloy and the surface free silicon on siliconised graphite substrate on the wetting behaviour of the siliconised graphite by Cu–Al–Si–Ti alloys were investigated using the sessile drop technique at 1100°C. The contact angles were measured and the interfacial reactions were analysed. It was shown that surface free Si on siliconised graphite had a great positive effect on the contact angle. Furthermore, interfacial reactions could be controlled by adjusting the contents of Si and Al in brazing alloys.
