Abstract
Wettability control of laser textured SiC ceramic surfaces through the addition of pure elements was studied in this work. A correlation analysis between the elements C/O/Si/B/Al/Fe and the contact angle demonstrates that elements C/O/Si/B are all highly correlated with the wettability. The correlation of elements Fe/Al with the contact angle is relatively lower. Because elements C/Si are inherent elements in a SiC material, element O is derived from oxidation, and element B is added along with the additives during the sintering process. A more hydrophilic SiC surface was obtained by controlling the addition of element B.
