Kinetics Of Wetting Of The Surface Of A Solid Body By Molten Glass

An analysis of the theoretical investigations and data on the technology of industrial joints shows that wetting is the main limiting stage in the formation of an adhesive joint. It is believed that the chemical bonds formed in the wetting process cause both the strength and the vacuum tightness of the final joint and the subsequent secondary interactions, namely, diffusion and formation of a transition layer from new chemical compounds. This paper aims to establish the mechanism of the main stage of the adhesive interaction between molten silicate glass and a metal.
