Additional information

Our understanding of the spreading of liquid metals and glasses lags behind that of room-temperature liquids. This work compares experimentation and modelling to show that at high-temperature, interfacial liquid ordering (therefore triple line friction not viscosity) determines spreading kinetics. This analysis explains why metal spreading is slower than that of room temperature liquids of similar viscosity and opens new opportunities to model important industrial processes from soldering to glass-making. It has attracted a project “Glass-ceramic interfaces” funded by Asahi-Glass-Company (£150K) and invited lectures including the Triple Lines in Metals and Ceramics Workshop (2010) and a keynote talk in MS&T 2011.
