In the paper, a correlation between acoustic velocities, elastic moduli, and densities, with surface tension, and work of adhesion of different liquid metals on a given ceramic is studied and demonstrated. Simulation program is developed and used for scanning acoustic microscopy under operating conditions, which favour the generation of acoustic waves. As found, for the given systems, all investigated acoustic parameters exhibit good dependences with both surface tension and work of adhesion. Analysis and quantification of the results lead to the determination of semi-empirical formulas. The importance of the deduced formulas lies in the possibility of prediction of surface tension and work of adhesion of such metal/ceramic interfaces depending on the elastic and acoustic characteristics.
Keywords: surface tension, work of adhesion, acoustic velocities, elastic constants, ceramics, liquid metals, interfaces.
