This article presents the influence of the anodizing parameters and thermo-chemical treatment of Al2O3 coatings made on aluminum alloy EN AW-5251 on the surface free energy. The oxide coating was produced by DC (Direct Current) anodizing in a ternary electrolyte. The thermo-chemical treatment of the oxide coatings was carried out using distilled water, sodium dichromate and sodium sulphate. Micrographs of the surface of the Al2O3 coatings were characterized using a scanning microscope (SEM). The chemical composition of the oxide coatings was identified using EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) microanalysis. Surface free energy (SFE) calculations were performed by the Owens–Wendt method, based on wetting angle measurements made using the sessile drop technique. The highest value of surface free energy for the only anodized coatings was 46.57 mJ/m2, and the lowest was 37.66 mJ/m2. The contact angle measurement with glycerine was 98.06° ± 2.62°, suggesting a hydrophobic surface. The thermo-chemical treatment of the oxide coatings for most samples contributed to a significant increase in SFE, while reducing the contact angle with water. The highest value of surface free energy for the coatings after thermo-chemical treatment was 77.94 mJ/m2, while the lowest was 34.98 mJ/m2. Taking into account the contact angle measurement with glycerine, it was possible to obtain hydrophobic layers with the highest angle of 109.82° ± 4.79° for the sample after thermal treatment in sodium sulphate.

High quality of the soldering process can be achieved with the right choice of the necessary soldering materials. Since wetting determines the further nature of the connection between the solder and the main soldering material, the contact angle  measurement  is the basis for quality control of soldering materials, provided that the basic requirements of the technological process. The determination of the contact angle value is carried out by the indirect method of the sessile drop, by measuring the basic parameters of the drop using infrared transducer. A smaller value of the contact angle corresponds to a better interaction of materials, and hence a better electrical contact

The purpose of this research was to determine surface free energy and contact angle of hydrolyzed shellac by using sessile drop technique. It is a method for determination of contact angle by placing a drop of liquid on a substrate and the surface free energy is then calculated by using the Wus equation. The substrate in this study was the hydrolyzed shellac prepared by hydrolysis of the native shellac at various times; 0, 15, 30 and 45 min using 2.0 %w/w sodium hydroxide. Water, formamide and ethylene glycol were liquids used for the investigation of the contact angle and surface free energy. The effect of hydrolysis time tended to reduce the contact angle and increase in the total surface free energy and polar force of hydrolyzed shellac. The result could be due to the breaking of the ester bonds of shellac during the hydrolysis process causing the higher free carboxyl group giving the higher polar group indicating by higher polar force and surface free energy. Therefore, the contact angle and surface free energy detected by sessile drop technique could be of benefit for the determination of hydrolysis process.

The paper presents the main methods of surface free energy calculation of solids based on the contact angle measurement. The basic of splitting the surface free energy into components as well as interactions at the solid-liquid boundary phase considered while developing calculation models were presented. Basing on test results of surface free energy of 0H18N9T stainless steel, the relation between the method of surface preparation and the surface free energy were shown. The analysis focuses on change of the polar part. Differences between methods were indicated and it was pointed that skipping the polar component in analysis of adhesive joints strength results in deterioration of prediction model.

During the processes occurring at a solid surface, the changes in the surface free energy take place. The knowledge about surface free energy is very helpful for understanding the processes taking place on the surface. However, experimental determination of solid surface free energy is still not a fully solved problem. In this paper, some problems dealing with calculation of solid surface free energy from contact angle are discussed based on literature values of advancing and receding contact angles measured on four different fluoropolymers surface. The four approaches most often used for the calculation are described and especial focus on the approach in which both the advancing and receding contact angles is paid. It is concluded that using probing liquids the absolute value of solid surface free energy cannot be determined. However, the determined apparent values of the energy are very helpful to understand the conditions necessary for a given process to occur.
