Abstract

The wettability of carbon materials by molten silicon was investigated at 1430C under vacuum by using the dispensed drop variant of the sessile drop technique. The results are compared with data in the literature and used to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of wetting in the liquid-Si/solid-C system. Consequences on the dynamics of Liquid Silicon Infiltration (LSI) processes are discussed.
