This study is a continuation of our previous work (Baumli et al. J Mater Sci 45:5177–5190, 2010 ) in which the wettability of graphite by liquid aluminum was studied under different molten chlorides containing K 2 TiF 6 as function of the cation of the molten chloride. In the present paper, the same...
