Abstract The wetting of graphite by liquid aluminium was studied by sessile drop method.The results show that in accordance with the variation of contact angle with time, the wettingprocess may be divided into three dynamic stages: nonwetting, abrupt change and gradual wetting.At the first stage, the contact angle between drop surface covered by aluminium oxide film andgraphite substrate was very large; while at the last stage, the formation of Al_4C_3 at the interfaceof aluminium and graphite led to the decrease of contact angle gradually. The transition pointfrom the second stage to the last one is defined as the "actual contact angle" by the authors,which can be used as an exact indication of wettability. By increasing the temperature, the wet-ting of graphite by liquid aluminium may be improved.
