纯铝与石墨、SiC和Al_2O_3的润湿性

纯铝与过滤材料和夹杂物之间的润湿性是影响铝的过滤性能的重要因素。在10-8bar真空条件下于1000~1300°C,研究液态铝与氧化铝、SiC和石墨之间的润湿角。为了描述铝的过滤和浇铸等在低温条件下铝与陶瓷的润湿行为,使用半经验模型进行研究。计算出的700°C的纯铝与氧化铝的润湿角为97°,与玻璃体石墨的为92°,与单晶和多晶石墨的为126°,与单晶的为SiC79°。结果表明：在浇铸温度下铝不能润湿氧化铝和石墨（或者Al4C3）,但可以润湿SiC。因此,为了让铝能够浸润过滤材料,在铝过滤时需要施加一个压力差作为推动力。提高温度也可以改善铝与陶瓷间的润湿性。

Wetting of pure aluminium on graphite,SiC and Al2O3 in aluminium filtration

The wettability of pure aluminium on filter materials and on inclusions is believed to be an important factor affecting the filtration of aluminium. The contact angles of molten aluminium on alumina, SiC and graphite were measured under 10-8 bar high vacuum in the temperature range of 1000-1300 °C. To describe the wetting behaviour of the Al on ceramic at lower temperatures used in filtration and casting aluminium, a semi-empirical calculation was employed. The calculated contact angles at 700 °C were around 97° for alumina, 92° for vitreous graphite, 126° for single- and poly-crystal graphite, and 79° for single crystal SiC, respectively. This indicates that aluminium does not wet alumina or graphite (or Al4C3) around the casting temperature, but wets SiC at this temperature. Thus a priming height is required for aluminium to infiltrate an alumina filter. Increasing temperature can also improve the wettability of Al on ceramic.
