Table 2. Surface free energy parameters for uncoated and TiC coated titanium disks.
γtot [mJ/m2] | γd [mJ/m2] | γp [mJ/m2] | γ+ [mJ/m2] | γ- [mJ/m2] | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Uncoated sample | 51.54 | 43.02 | 8.52 | 1.44 | 12.56 |
TiC coated sample | 44.83 | 44.7 | 0.13 | 0 | 11.94 |
γtot = surface total free energy; γd = dispersed component; γp = polar component; γ+ = acid fraction; γ- = basic fraction.
