The wettability of metal melt/ceramic solid is of great significance in the preparation of metal/ceramic composites, metal/ceramic welding and impurity removal of molten steel. Wettability includes non-reactive wettability and reactive wettability, and its process is a complex and highly sensitive physical and chemical phenomenon. The wettability of metal melt/solid ceramic system is influenced by many factors, among them, the substrate surface is melt temperature change influence the contact Angle hysteresis, surface tension and interface reaction, the metal melt change add active element in the liquid/solid interface reaction type and degree of, atmosphere environmental impact degree of metal melt surface oxidation and oxidation stability and interface reaction product categories. In recent years, the proposed external field can have a great influence on wettability, but the action mechanism needs further study. In this paper, the experimental research progress on wettability of metal melt/ceramic solids is reviewed from three aspects: mechanism of wettability process, method of wettability characterization and influencing factors of wettability, and put forward the development direction.
