We present results from a finite-difference analysis of the kinetics of reactive wetting under conditions where the rate of spreading is controlled by the rate of diffusion of the reactive solute element.Alloying elementsCeramic materialsDiffusion in solidsFinite difference methodInterfaces (materials)Mathematical modelsMetalsReaction kineticsSubstratesReactive solute elementReactive wettingSpreading kineticsWettingtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
