Understanding of the bonding process, reactions between materials and their dynamics enables to make research on new materials and joining technologies, as well as to optimise and compare the existing ones. The paper focuses on a wetting force measurement method and its practical implementation in a laboratory stand – an integrated platform for automatic wetting force measurement at high temperatures. As an example of using the laboratory stand, an analysis of Ag addition to Cu-based brazes, including measurement of the wetting force and the wetting angle, is presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Semi-Automatic Apparatus for Measuring Wetting Properties at High Temperatures}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107355/PDF/120.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2017-0004}, keywords={Surface tension, wetting angle, wetting force, measurement system}, }
