Recently, the ternary carbide Ti 3 SiC 2 has gained much attention due to its unique characteristics combining the properties of metals and ceramics (i.e., a low density, decent thermal and electrical conductivities, an excellent thermal shock resistance, a good machinability, damage tolerance, low friction and so on). The present study describes an investigation of the wettability in high vacuum of bulk Ti 3 SiC 2 by a classical braze alloy based on the Ag-Cu-Ti system. Two techniques, i.e., the sessile drop and dispensed drop methods, were utilized. The results indicated that spreading kinetics is controlled by deoxidation kinetics of Ti 3 SiC 2 surface under vacuum. The final contact angle on clean Ti 3 SiC 2 is very small (~ 10°), testifying the development of strong, metallic interactions across the liquid-solid interface. The reactivity between the ternary carbide and the liquid phase during isothermal heating at 800°C was also considered.
