Effect of Metal Oxides on Wettability of Ag-Ti3SiC2 Composites
Ag-Ti3SiC2-MeO composites were prepared by hot pressing sintering. The density of Ag-20% Ti3SiC2-10% MeO (La2O3, Bi2O3, CeO2 and In2O3) is 92.3%, 99.44%, 89.56% and 91.4% respectively. The density of Ag-20% Ti3SiC2-5% MeO (La2O3, Bi2O3, CeO2 and In2O3) is 96.82%, 98.87%, 92.79% and 95.55% respectively. The wettability of Ag-Ti3SiC2 composites was improved by adding MeO. The contact angles of Ag-20% Ti3SiC2-5% MeO (La2O3, Bi2O3, CeO2 and In2O3) are 60.4°,60.5°,66°and 51° respectively.
