“…Hence, the novelty of the present study is first providing wettability information of Al-Si-Cu/Al dross systems, secondly the application of the CP procedure in the Al dross wettability test, and third providing microstructural information of Al-Si-Cu/Al dross systems. Literature survey [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ] revealed that available papers are mostly concerned with the study of the wettability of pure Al [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ] and its alloys [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ] in contact with various types of substrates, such as Al 2 O 3 [ 29 , 34 ], TiO 2 [ 30 , 34 ], C [ 31 , 38 , 40 , 44 ], NiO [ 32 ], SiC [ 33 , 39 ], ZrO 2 [ <...>…”
