Influence of oxygen on the interfacial reaction between sapphire and copper.

The influence of oxygen on the wetting of sapphire (α-Al₂O₃) by liquid copper was investigated using the sessile drop technique in vacuum at 1230°C. For additions to copper of cupric oxide, varying from 1 – 72% of the copper weight, chemical reaction at the liquid-solid interface resulted in spread...
