Abstract
Based on statistical analysis (DoE, ANOVA), the relationships between profile parameters and the wettability of carbon steel substrates were systematically investigated for the first time for all sections of a roughness profile (formation, peak, shape, valley, core). The substrates were blast-cleaned with various grit materials, including steel grit, steel shot, and aluminium oxide. The wettability was determined in terms of contact angle measurements by means of the Wilhelmy plate method. A total of 39 standard profile parameters were recorded with a mechanical stylus instrument. The results were evaluated in terms of significance and Spearman correlation coefficient. For distilled water as wetting liquid, none of the profile parameters showed statistical significance, and 87 % of all parameters exhibited only weak or very weak Spearman correlations. In contrast, for diiodomethane, 82 % of the parameters displayed strong or very strong correlations. For diiodomethane as wetting liquid, the “formation” section of the profile exhibited extremely significant effects on the contact angle and showed the highest average Spearman correlation among all profile sections. The choice of the wetting liquid determined the direction of the Spearman correlations. For distilled water, 64 % of the parameters showed a positive correlation; and for diiodomethane, 72 % of all parameters showed a negative correlation. Simple combinations of profile parameters, as suggested in the literature, did not correlate with the contact angles. A working hypothesis is provided to explain the recorded interactions between wetting liquid and substrate.
