Liquid metal will wet to most metallic surfaces. Specifically though, room-temperature liquid metal can be very reactive with certain metals. Liquid metal can dissolve most metals; however, at moderate temperatures, only some are slightly soluble, such as sodium, potassium, gold, magnesium, lead, nickel and mercury. Gallium is corrosive to all metals except tungsten and tantalum, which have a high resistance to corrosion, more so than niobium, titanium and molybdenum. Similar to indium, gallium and gallium-containing alloys have the ability to wet to many non-metallic surfaces such as glass and quartz. Gently rubbing the alloy into the surface may help induce wetting. However,
Room-temperature densification method is removed by post-processing typically at 120 °C. The method is suitable also for LiMoO composite ceramics with up to 30 volume-% of filler material, enabling the optimization of the dielectric properties. Room-temperature densification method The room-temperature densification method was developed for LiMoO ceramics and is based on the water-solubility of LiMoO. It can be used for the fabrication of LiMoO ceramics instead of conventional thermal sintering. The method utilizes a small amount of aqueous phase formed by moistening the LiMoO powder. The densification occurs during sample pressing as the solution incorporates the pores between the powder particles and recrystallizes.
