Abstract The sessile drop technique has been used to investigate the wetting in vacuo of a series of polycrystalline titanium monoxides by sodium disilicate glass. To a lesser extent the wetting behaviour of titanium metal, titanium nitride and titanium carbide have also been investigated. Measurements of contact angle were made at 1000° C. Qualitative observations were made of the interaction and degree of bonding between the glass and the substrates and a relationship between the valency electron concentration of the substrate and the degree of wetting and bonding is obtained. Some microhardness data on the arc cast substrates and information on the chemical reactivity of the powdered substrates with the glass are also given.
