Abstract:SUMMARYThis thesis was undertaken to study the wetting between granular media (alumina) and Al-Mg alloys. The objective was to develop a test method to characterize different granular alumina particles and differentiate one from the other by using the wettability concept. Two types of experimental methods were used to measure the wetting: sessile drop and infiltration methods.The sessile drop system constructed is one of the few, if not the only one, available in Canada in which the contact angle measurements … Show more
