P= O'LAK COS 0[1] where OrLA is the liquid metal/atmosphere interfacial energy, the atmosphere being any gas or liquid present around the fibers prior to infiltration; K is the curvature at that interface, and 0 is the contact angle. In general, K is unknown, and assumptions are made regarding the geometrical distribution of the reinforcement: fibers are assumed to lie on a square grid, a hexagonal grid, etc. K is then calculated as the curvature at the narrowest constriction between the fibers, in the assumed geometrical fiber distribution. Although this approach is rigorously correct, it presents several drawbacks:1. For Eq.[1] to be correct, the term O'LA COS 0 must be equal to O'FA--O'LF, the difference between the fiber/atmosphere and fiber/liquid metal interfacial energies. If there is perfect wetting, 0 is zero and this relationship is not obeyed since trLA is then less than~ rFA--CrLF, and hence" cos 0" must be greater than one.(The case of perfect non-wetting, ie, CrLA<(O'FL--CrFA), is of no practical importance. 8)
