The effect of the addition of alloying elements to Nion Ni wetting of AIN was investigated. Pure Ni is nonwetting, but adding Hf, Zr, or Ti caused Ni to wet, whereas V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, and W did not change the wetting angle. In wetting systems, the alloying elements form nitrides and the change in the wetting angle is related to the change in the Gibbs free energy of formation of the nitrides formed in the contact layer.
