Abstract: The wettability and its regulation of metals are of great scientific and technological significance in the fields of composite material preparation, directional solidification, electronic packaging, precise connection, nuclear fuel storage and transportation, metallurgical impurity removal, coating and surface engineering. The wetting of metal melts includes two types of systems:metal/metal and metal/ceramic, and most melts inevitably react with the substrates in the latter system, which is called reactive wetting. It is a complex phenomenon that is affected by multiple factors, including melt properties, substrate materials, temperature, atmosphere. Moreover, the application of external physical fields is an emerging direction in the regulation of wettability of metal/ceramic and currently a research hotspot. This paper reviews the mechanism of action, wettability characterization and influencing factors on reactive wettability of metal/ceramic, providing reference guidance for its design and regulation.
